Clinton focuses on need to fight ‘international terror’

Published



Presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton Sunday termed the Orlando massacre an “act of terror” and called for stronger efforts to defeat international terrorism.

“This was an act of terror,” Clinton said in a written statement. “For now, we can say for certain that we need to redouble our efforts to defend our country from threats at home and abroad. That means defeating international terror groups, working with allies and partners to go after them wherever they are, countering their attempts to recruit people here and everywhere, and hardening our defenses at home. It also means refusing to be intimidated and staying true to our values.”
