Talk of President Donald Trump possibly signing an executive order on religious freedom -- which drew both criticism and praise -- has been replaced with discussion about what happened to it and what a final version, if there is one, will look like.
A draft version of the executive order, called Establishing a Government-Wide Initiative to Respect Religious Freedom, had been widely criticised in late January by those who said it would legalise discrimination and was too far-reaching. It then failed to appear on the president's desk while rumours circulated that a scaled-back version might appear eventually.
