Trump delivered a withering critique of Barack Obama’s international record, describing it as leaving a legacy of “weakness, confusion and disarray.”

“We went from mistakes in Iraq to Egypt to Libya to President Obama’s line in the sand in Syria. Each of these actions have helped to throw the region into chaos and to give ISIS the space it needs to grow and prosper. Very bad,” he added.

Despite the anti-Muslim tone of his campaign to date, Trump pledged to work closely with US allies in the Middle East to combat extremism from groups like ISIL.

He also promised to improve relations with Russia and China.
