Trump said a newly adopted approach to fighting terrorism by the organisation had led him to change his mind and he no longer considered NATO obsolete. Trump called for shutting down access to the internet and social media for those aligned with Islamic State, which holds territory in Syria and Iraq. Reading from a teleprompter, Trump said Clinton did not have the judgment and character to lead the country. The Clinton campaign said the news was evidence of "more troubling connections between Donald Trump's team and pro-Kremlin elements in Ukraine." Polls also show Trump trailing in states such as Pennsylvania that are likely to be pivotal in the election.
