Trump claims great progress on ISIS, North Korea after intelligence officials present less optimistic view

Washington • President Donald Trump on Wednesday claimed “tremendous progress” in destroying the Islamic State and denuclearizing North Korea, a day after U.S. intelligence chiefs offered congressional testimony at odds with his rosy assessments on multiple global threats.

In his tweets, Trump wrote that when he became president, the Islamic State “was out of control in Syria & running rampant.”

The Intelligence people seem to be extremely passive and naive when it comes to the dangers of Iran. They are wrong! When I became President Iran was making trouble all over the Middle East, and beyond.
