The remarks followed talks chaired by the United States and summit hosts Britain with defence and foreign ministers from Australia, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Poland and Turkey. Kerry reassured the meeting yesterday that there would be “no boots on the ground” in the US strategy against IS, saying that was a “red line for everybody here”. But he said “there are many ways in which we can train, advise, assist, and equip”, and urged those present to con- sider what they would be willing to contribute so the US could have a plan at the UN General Assembly meeting later this month. The US has conducted air strikes in northern Iraq in recent weeks, allowing Kurdish and Iraqi forces to regain ground lost against the jihadists. But Washington has sought support for a broader international effort at the NATO summit here in Newport, south Wales.
