Washington: US President Donald Trump has vowed to "totally destroy" ISIS and rebuild the US military as part of measures to keep the country safe.

Trump said he wants to build safe zones in Syria and other places so immigrants can stay there and live safely.

Trump said he has directed the defense community, headed by Defense Secretary Jim Mattis "to develop a plan to totally destroy ISIS," and begin plans for "the great rebuilding" of the United States military. Trump also talked about taking steps to bring back jobs to the country and revive the fledgling economy.

"We've allowed thousands and thousands of people into our country. And there was no way to vet those people. There was no documentation. There was no nothing," Trump claimed.

"We will pursue peace through strength. Our military is badly depleted. We make the best equipment anywhere in the world. We're going to start using our best and most modern equipment. We were left a mess like you wouldn't believe. But we're going to build safe zones. We're going to have those safe zones," he said.

 

Trump, a billionaire himself, lashed out at the "so-called global elite", saying they have done very well for themselves, leaving working families with shrinking wages.

 

"We have the chance...to pursue real peace, real stability, and real prosperity. We want to secure our borders and protect our workers. To rebuild our military and our infrastructure.

 

The Republican, who in the run-up to the presidential elections was accused of sexually harassing women, also said he wants to ensure a "level playing field for all women in the workforce. (With PTI Inputs)
