MOSCOW (Sputnik) — During the meeting the National Security Council will update the president on the campaign "to degrade and destroy that terrorist organization," White House spokesman Josh Earnest said on Friday.
The US president will deliver a statement following the meeting.
The meeting will come in the wake of an Daesh-related terrorist attack in San Bernardino, California, on December 2, when 14 people were fatally shot by a couple believed to have been radicalized.
Earlier in December, the Pentagon said it was considering a plan to build military bases in the Middle East and Africa to fight Daesh, a terrorist organization outlawed in many countries, including Russia.
Obama previously met with the national security team to discuss the US efforts to counter ISIL in July.
