He clarified statements President Obama made in his news conference the previous day about U.S. strategy in dealing with ISIS* in Iraq and Syria, and the Russian intervention in Ukraine. Mr.Earnest also said that although the British raised their terrorist threat level earlier that day due to a perceived threat from Westerners who fought alongside ISIS, there were no plans to raise the U.S. terrorist threat level. Mr. Earnest opened with jocular comments about the attention paid to the summer suit that President Obama wore for his news conference the previous day.
