President Barack Obama goes before the United Nations to deliver a speech Wednesday focusing on the fight against Islamic State militants.
Senior administration officials say the president's address to the U.N. General Assembly in New York will highlight efforts to build an international coalition to combat the group that has taken over large areas in Syria and Iraq.
Later Wednesday, Obama will chair a U.N. Security Council meeting where members are expected to adopt a resolution addressing the flow of foreign fighters traveling to join terror groups.
The meetings follow the U.S. military's expansion of its air campaign against the Islamic State group from areas in Iraq to airstrikes targeting the militants in Syria.
