Baku-APA. The applicant for the post of President of the United States Donald trump believes the madness and idiocy of Washington's attempts to simultaneously fight in Syrian President Bashar Assad and international terrorist grouping "Islamic state" (IG). About this businessman said in an interview with The New York Times, APA reports quoting The New York Times.

"ISIS represents a much more serious threat to the US than Assad. I'm not saying he's a good man, it's not, but our biggest problem is grouping," said trump. According to him, the American leader Barack Obama uses in the fight against the IG has limited resources.

In the first place, says the businessman, it is necessary to block the access of groups to the oil. "I have already said that they need to take away oil. Talked about it for years. The government of the country is hardly closer to achieving that goal," said the Republican.

7 December trump has advocated "General and complete ban" on entry to the USA for Muslims. "While we will not be able to identify and understand the problem and the threat it represents, our country should not become the victim of attacks by people who believe only in the Jihad and feel no sense, and respect for human life," he said.

This statement was strongly criticized by the administration of the President of the United States. The White house demanded to remove trump from the race.

11 November, trump praised the actions of the Russian leadership in the fight against IG in Syria. In late September, the Republican urged not to interfere with the Russian President Vladimir Putin to deal with ISIL and supported the position of the Russian leader against Assad.

Grouping "Islamic state" (IG), is prohibited in Russia by a court decision, in the summer of 2014 captured large areas of Iraq and Syria and proclaimed the Caliphate there. Since August 2014 the Alliance from 65 countries led by the United States conducts bombing terrorist positions in Iraq. A month later, began the coalition's attacks on Islamists in Syria. From 30 September 2015, Russia on request of Assad began to apply air strikes against the Islamist positions.
