H.R. McMaster: Trump’s Trip to Asia an ‘Opportunity to Build Momentum Towards Shared Prosperity and Security’

‘This trip is an opportunity to build momentum towards shared prosperity and security’

EXCERPT:

McMASTER: "Second, we should recognize that there’s been considerable progress on terrorist financing, as you saw Secretary Mnuchin's visit to the region last week during which he opened a Terrorist Financing Targeting Center. And then also you’ve heard a lot of leaders across the world, and the President foremost among them, discrediting this ideology, this Islamist or Takfirist or Salafi jihadist ideology. And last week, I think it’s worth reading, Saudi Crown Prince’s speech during which he called for a return to moderate Islam. At the ASEAN 50th birthday party in Manila, the President will discuss how to strengthen partnerships across the Indo-Pacific to further efforts against transnational terrorist organizations, so this trip is an opportunity to build momentum towards shared prosperity and security. And I’m happy to take your questions.”
