Trump Calls Christianity Most Persecuted Religion at UN

President Donald Trump has emphasized at the United Nations General Assembly that Christianity is the most persecuted religion globally, urging the international community to protect religious liberty and freedom of expression. He highlighted alarming statistics reported by Open Doors, noting thousands of Christians are killed or attacked annually due to their faith, particularly in regions like sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East. Trump also linked the protection of religious liberty to broader themes of sovereignty, border security, and opposition to uncontrolled migration, criticizing the United Nations for supporting policies he views as harmful to Western countries. His remarks drew support from U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham and came amidst ongoing concerns about persecution and violence against Christians in conflict zones. Additionally, Trump underscored America's commitment to defending Christianity and its principles, aligning this with his administration's immigration and trade policies. His address called for a global recommitment to shared values ahead of the U.S. 250th independence anniversary, framing religious freedom as a cornerstone of national identity and security.
