Obama, Clinton destabilised Middle East: Trump

August 03, 2016 00:03

US President Barack Obama and his former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have single-handedly destabilised the Middle East and have been responsible for the growth of the Islamic State, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump alleged.

"Obama-Clinton have single-handedly destabilised the Middle East, handed Iraq, Libya and Syria to ISIS, and allowed our personnel to be slaughtered at Benghazi. Then they put Iran on the path to nuclear weapons," Trump, the Republican presidential nominee said in a statement.

Trump's remarks came after Obama at a White House news conference said the Republican nominee is unfit to serve as president.

Trump in a hard hitting statement alleged that the Obama-Clinton duo allowed dozens of veterans to die waiting for medical care that never came.

"Our nation has been humiliated abroad and compromised by radical Islam brought onto our shores. We need change now," Trump said.
