Pentagon presents new anti-Daesh plans to Trump

The Pentagon has completed plans demanded by President Donald Trump for a more intensified military campaign against Daesh terrorists.

"The White House will begin reviewing the recommendations," a White House official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said on Monday.

Defense Secretary James Mattis is scheduled to present the plans to Trump's top national security advisers later on Monday.

During his election campaign, Trump publicly called for a tougher military action against the terrorist organization wreaking havoc in Iraq and Syria.

Military officials said the options under consideration include reducing White House oversight of decisions before an operation is conducted and giving more tactical authority to the Pentagon.

The recommendations might also include easing restrictions on the number of US troops needed to carry out a mission.

Military officials, however, acknowledged that giving more latitude to the Pentagon will result in deployment of more US forces.
