No specific terrorism threat to US ahead of Thanksgiving—Obama

Obama made the remark on Wednesday in Washington to reassure Americans of their safety ahead of the Thanksgiving Holiday.

His remark came amid heightened fears in the wake of the Paris attacks.

The president met with French President Francois Hollande on Tuesday to discuss stepping up efforts against the militant group Islamic State.

“As we go into Thanksgiving weekend, I want the American people to know we are taking every possible step to keep the homeland safe,” Obama said in televised speech after meeting with his national security team.
