President Trump directed the Secretary of Defense¹¹ to deliver in 30 days a preliminary draft of a comprehensive plan to defeat the terrorist group. The plan would be developed with the participation¹² of the secretaries of State, Treasury¹³ and Homeland Security, as well as the director of national intelligence, the chairman of the Joint¹⁴ Chiefs of Staff, the assistant to the president for national security affairs and the assistant to the president for homeland security and counter-terrorism.

At a press briefing, White House Spokesperson Sean Spicer said the plan must include recommended changes to any United States rules of engagement and other U.S. policy restrictions¹⁵ that exceed the requirements of international law regarding the use of force against ISIS, as well as other measures:

在一次新闻发布会上，白宫发言人戴维斯(Sean Spicer)表示，该方案将包含对美国交战规则和其他逾越了国际法关于对IS使用武力要求的政策限制，以及其他措施：

“Public diplomacy¹⁶, information operations and cyber strategies to isolate¹⁷ and delegitimize ISIS and its radical Islamist ideology¹⁸; identification of new coalition¹⁹ partners in the fight against ISIS and policies to empower coalition partners to fight ISIS and its affiliates²⁰; mechanisms²¹ to cut off ISIS financial support, including financial transfers, money laundering²², oil revenue, human trafficking, the sales of looted art, historical artifacts, and other revenue sources, and a detailed²³ strategy to fund the plan.”

“我们要采用民间外交、信息作战、空间策略，隔离并让IS机器极端伊斯兰意识形态失去法律效力；要确认与IS之战中新的盟友和政策，让我们的盟友可以抗击IS及其附属组织；要采用多种机制，切断IS的财务支援，包括财务转移、洗钱、石油、人口贩卖、售卖失窃的艺术品、其他收入来源。我们还要制定详细的策略，支持上述作战方案。”

“The President's clear objective is to defeat and destroy ISIL, and...to do it systematically²⁴. This is not only a necessary step for America's national security,” Mr. Spicer said, “it is also a humanitarian²⁵ imperative²⁶...The United States must take decisive action, and the President is taking the necessary steps.”

“特朗普总统的目标很清晰，就是要击垮并摧毁IS，并且是采用系统化的方式。这不仅对于美国国家安全来说是必要的举措，”戴维斯说，“这也具有人道主义必要性……美国必须采取果决的行动，而特朗普总统正在实行必要的举措。”
