Obama, Cameron Pledge Anti-Terrorism Campaign at Joint Press Conference

Following a meeting on anti-terror strategies on Friday, U.S. President Barack Obama and British Prime Minister David Cameron announced their joint plan to tackle domestic extremism.

Speaking from the East Room of the White House in Washington, D.C., Cameron and Obama showed their unity on the issue of domestic terrorism by setting up a joint taskforce to combat growing, radical ideology that may be taking place at home.

Both country leaders acknowledged that they face a "poisonous and fanatical ideology" that could result in more terror attacks, like the ones that rocked Paris last week, leaving 17 dead.

"This is a problem that causes great heartache and tragedy and destruction," Obama said of the radical ideology growing in several parts of the world. "But it is one that ultimately we are going to defeat."

Cameron added by calling the terrorists who carried out last week's attack a "poisonous, fanatical, death cult."

Both the president and the prime minister acknowledged that their countries are working hard to prevent more terror attacks from happening, although Cameron clarified that his country's "severe" terror attack warning means that an imminent attack is highly likely.

Cameron added that fighting terror "is going to be a long, patient and hard struggle," but added that he is "quite convinced we will overcome it."

President Obama also pledged allegiance with France in helping the country recover and find justice following last week's attack.

"We will continue to do everything in our power to help France seek the justice that is needed, and that all our countries are working together seamlessly to prevent attacks and to defeat these terrorist networks," Obama said during the short press conference.
