In what will be only the third Oval Office address of his presidency, Barack Obama is expected to lay out his latest thinking – and the country’s latest strategy – for taking on the Islamic State militant group.
The White House says the president will, on Sunday night, “reiterate his firm conviction that ISIL will be destroyed”.
It is a conviction that he has reiterated before. The 17-month-old battle against Isis militants has been marked by presidential statements about the status of the fight, its objectives and achievements.
