President Trump Sunday in a highly-anticipated speech to Muslim leaders during his first foreign trip is expected to call for unity in the fight to “stamp out extremism.”
During his second day of his first trip abroad, Trump’s speech in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia will address the leaders of 50 Muslim-majority countries to cast the challenge of extremism as a “battle between good and evil” and urge Arab leaders to “drive out the terrorists from your places of worship,” according to a draft of the speech.
“Our goal is a coalition of nations who share the aim of stamping out extremism and providing our children a hopeful future that does honor to God,” Trump is expected to say according to excerpts of his speech. “Our friends will never question our support, and our enemies will never doubt our determination.”

Ellitot Abrams just made a great point….the speech seemed to treat the terrorists as if they were aliens who arrived from another planet rather than directly confronting the Saudis and Emirates and saying “its your money and export of Wahabi Islamic extremism that has created and supported the radicalization of muslim schools throughout the Islamic world and continues to do so”. Instead he falsely implied the problem is entirely with the Shia regime in Iran without addressing the 800 lb. (Suni) gorilla in the room.
