says the United States will dismantle the ISIL terrorist group the same way the country defeated al-Qaeda following criticism over his foreign policy.

He also rejected sending American ground troops to Syria for fighting against ISIL.

summit in Wales.

"We are going to have to find effective partners on the ground to push back against ISIL," he added.

Obama also noted that his country would confront the group "the same way we have gone after al-Qaeda."

"The goal has to be to dismantle it," he said.
