NEW LONDON, Conn. (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday he would use his upcoming trip to Saudi Arabia to challenge the leaders of Muslim countries to “fight hatred and extremism” while pursuing a peaceful future for their faith.
Speaking to the graduating class of the U.S. Coast Guard Academy, Trump said he would seek new partners in the region because “we have to stop radical Islamic terrorism.”

The ‘war on terror’ is the biggest Fake News of the century. Why? Because those who claim to fight it are the ones who supply the arms and ammunition and cash to the militants. Cut off the arms flow and the extremists will fight each other with sticks.
