After the Brussels attacks, the United States urges the European Union to do more to fight ISIS. From Buenos Aires, US President Barack Obama has promised help to Belgium and his European allies, but has also relaunched his request for a common battle by the international community against the Islamic State.
Even clearer words have come from the Pentagon: after recalling that the United States has "accelerated their campaign to defeat IS in Syria and Iraq and elsewhere", the US Defense Secretary, Ash Carter, said that "the Events in Brussels are further demonstrating to Europeans that they too must step up their efforts and join us."
The Democratic candidate for the nomination for the White House, Hillary Clinton, then affirmed that "now it is the turn of the USA to stand beside Europe", referring to the support of the European Union after the attacks of 11 September. “When it comes to the effort against IS, we need our allies more than ever – she added -. We also need European banks to stop financing terrorism, European planes flying missions in Iraq and Syria and European special forces participating in the training of local anti-IS forces on the ground. We would like to see more European countries invest in security”.
