Donald Trump signs executive order calling for a plan to defeat Isis within 30 days
The orders were the latest in a flurry of executive actions Mr Trump has taken
Donald Trump has ordered his generals and security advisors to deliver him within a month a plan on how to defeat Isis.
In the latest three executive orders to be signed by Mr Trump, the president said that within 30 days he needed proposals for taking the fight to the Islamic extremists.
He also signed a order to impose a five-year lobbying ban for administration officials, and one that reorganised the National Security Council’s structure.
The action regarding the NSC will outline new procedures and organisational structure of the organisation to better adapt to the threats, reports said.
The NSC is led by retired Lt Gen Michael Flynn, who spent much of Saturday in the Oval Office as Mr Trump had scheduled phone calls with world leaders.
