U.S. President Barack Obama addresses the United Nations General Assembly in New York City
President Obama addresses the United Nations General Assembly in New York City. He outlines a global response to combating the the radical group Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and says he will continue to work with a broad coalition to "dismantle this network of death." He insists the U.S. will not put troops on the ground but instead work with local authorities. Obama acknowledges that the U.S. continues to work through its own racial and ethnic tensions, citing the preceding summer conflict in Ferguson, Missouri, between police and the African-American community. He also speaks briefly about other global issues, mentioning Russia's intervention in Ukraine, the Ebola outbreak in West Africa, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
