(Baptist Press) Religious liberty advocates have applauded President Trump’s new executive order to promote “America’s first freedom” globally.
Describing religious freedom as “a moral and national security imperative,” the president issued Tuesday (June 2) an order that calls for the prioritization of international religious liberty in United States foreign policy and at least $50 million a year for programs that boost freedom for religious adherents worldwide.
“Religious freedom for all people worldwide is a foreign policy priority of the United States, and the United States will respect and vigorously promote this freedom,” according to the executive order.
