President
Obama spoke by phone with President Hollande of France this evening
from the Philippines to discuss the latest developments in the
investigation into last week’s
terrorist attacks in Paris. President Obama once again expressed
condolences on behalf of the American people to the families and loved
ones of those who lost their lives in these horrific attacks, to the
wounded, and to the French nation. Both leaders reiterated
their unwavering commitment to degrade and destroy ISIL. President
Obama noted that he looks forward to welcoming President Hollande to the
White House next week, when the two leaders will engage in discussions
on the way forward to defeat ISIL, help to bring
to an end the conflict in Syria, and to ensure we are doing all we can
to safeguard our citizens from the threat of terrorism.
