ISIS: TRAIL OF TERROR

President Obama is facing increased pressure to up the U.S. campaign against ISIS as he gets set to welcome French President Francois Hollande to the White House

NBC national correspondent Peter Alexander reports for TODAY. Their end goals are the same - defeat ISIS.

    President Barrack Obama and French counterpart Francois Hollande will meet on Tuesday to discuss the means. As his nation reels from attacks that left 130 dead just under two weeks ago, Hollande has been on a mission to boost the coalition that's aiming to defeat ISIS in Syria and Iraq.

    "The most interesting dimensions of this will be whether Hollande can coax more action and commitment of resources out of Obama than he has been willing to make thus far," said David Rothkopf, a former Clinton administration official and editor of Foreign Policy Group, a collection of foreign policy publications.
    "Hollande has public sentiment on his side at the moment, so this may be his point of maximum leverage on this front." Hollande met with British Prime Minister David Cameron on Monday,November 23rd and will meet with German Chancellor Angela Merkel on November 25th.
    On November 26th, Hollande will meet with Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin in Moscow. The U.S. and Russia have been at odds over Moscow's support of Syrian President Bashar Assad's regime. The White House asserts that Assad's brutal response to anti-government protests plunged the country into civil war - a protracted bloodshed which has destabilized the region.
