Trump suggests U.S. should bomb Libya
Donald Trump on Friday suggested that the United States should bomb ISIS in Libya, a decision that would mark a serious escalation of the U.S. military campaign against the terrorist group. It's also a new position for Trump, who has argued both in favor of and against military intervention in Libya over the past five years.
Claiming that ISIS controls oil fields in Libya, the presumptive Republican nominee questioned during a rally here why the United States isn't "bombing the hell out of" ISIS in Libya.
And despite Trump's claim, ISIS does not control oil fields in Libya, though supply lines have been disrupted by ISIS assaults in the North African country.
