A member of the US federal commission that monitors religious freedom worldwide has expressed hope that the Trump administration will prioritise the issue, especially as the overall situation continues to deteriorate around the world.
“Our new Secretary of State was a champion of international religious freedom when he was in the senate, so I imagine when the dust settles at the State Department...this will be a priority for him and that’s encouraging,” Maureen Ferguson, a commissioner with the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom, told Crux on March 25.
