President Barack Obama said Monday that the U.S. is united with France in the fight against ISIS, after a Paris terror attack, which left at least 129 people dead.
“ISIL is the face of evil,” Obama said at a press conference from the G-20 summit in Antalya, Turkey. “Our goal, as I’ve said many times, is to degrade and ultimately destroy this barbaric terrorist organization.”
“Today again I’m calling on leaders to commit the resources that this fight demands,” Obama added.
Obama also called on world leaders to accept refugees fleeing the conflicts in Syria and Iraq, though he added that accepting refugees required “rigorous screening and security checks.”
“We also have to remember that many of these refugees are victims of terrorism themselves,” Obama said.
