i spent much time with king solomon, a wise man who wants to see things get much better rapidly. the leaders of the middle east have agreed at this unprecedented meeting to stop funding the radical ideology that leads to this horrible terrorism all over the globe. my travels and meetings have given me renewed hope nations of many faiths can unite to defeat terrorism, a common thread to all of humanity. terrorism must be stopped in its tracks, or the horror you sign manchester and so many other .laces will continue forever thousands of thousands of people pouring into various countries and spreading throughout, and in many cases we have no idea who they are. we must be tough, we must be strong, we must be vigilant. the nato of the future must include a great focus on asrorism and immigration well as threats from russia and the eastern and southern borders. these security concerns are the same reason i have been very, very direct with secretary stoltenberg and members of the alliance in saying nato members must finally contribute their fair share and meet their financial obligation

king solomon of saudi arabia could not have been kinder and i will tell you he's a very wise, wise man. i called on these leaders and asked them to join in a partnership to drive terrorism from their midst once and for all. it was a deeply productive meeting. people have said there have really never been anything even close in history. i believe that. being there and seeing who was there. and hearing the spirit and a lot of love, there has never been anything like that in history. and it was an honor to be involved but great thing kz come from that meeting. i was gratified that president abbas joined the summit and committed to taking firm but necessary steps and confront its hateful ideology. and it's so interesting that our meeting took place on this very horrible morning of death to innocent young people. peace can never take root in an environment where violence is tolerated. funded and rewarded. we must be resolute in condemning such acts in a single unified voice. peace is a choice we must make each day and the united states is here to help make that dream possible from young jew
