The Democratic ex-Foreign Minister and candidate for the US presidency Hillary Clinton has Wednesday highly critical of the lack of organization in Europe and the slow responses to the jihadist threat.
"The US has a need for cooperation between the European and US intelligence agencies, also around the countries where our security forces more access and expertise, such as those in North Africa," Clinton said in a speech on the fight against terrorism at the university Stanford.
"European banks have to stop the financing of terrorism. European fighters have to perform missions in Iraq and Syria and the European special forces should participate in the training and equipping of the local anti-IS forces, "he said.
Clinton also calls on all Europeans to the military sphere 'burden-sharing with the United States.
"US easier touch than EU countries"
The Democrats also lamented the shortcomings in terms of security, which allow IS-combatants to return to Europe and carry out attacks.
"Today bring many European countries do not know if they stop suspected jihadists together at their borders, or when passports are stolen," she said.
"The European Union continues to postpone the vote around the exchange of data of air passengers." According to the ex-minister, it is even easier for the United States to get to data from the European countries "by an agreement concluded by the USA when I was foreign minister. "
Clinton finally condemned the statements by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and Ted Cruz on the fight against terrorism. She called the proposal Cruz to patrol in Muslim neighborhoods "counterproductive" and condemned the torture Trump wants to introduce again.
