Vice President JD Vance has declared that the second Trump administration will prioritise advancing religious freedom both domestically and abroad.
During an address at the International Religious Freedom Summit, held 4-5 February in Washington, DC, the vice president said that this would be done in line with, and as a continuation of, what he described as the accomplishments of the first Trump administration.
“You shouldn’t have to leave your faith at the door of your peoples' government, and under President Trump’s leadership you won’t have to,” Vance said during the 5 February meeting, noting that the administration “is intent on not just restoring but expanding the achievements of the first four years and certainly of the last two weeks”.
