Trump targets anti-Christian bias, unveils office of faith
Donald Trump announced plans to "hold all forms of anti-Christian targeting and discrimination" within the federal administration. He declared his intent to sign an order to regulate these issues. The U.S. president also plans to establish an Office of Faith in the White House, to be led by the controversial preacher Paula White.
During his speech at the National Prayer Breakfast, Donald Trump expressed his intention to establish a new task force that will work to protect the rights of Christians within various government agencies, including the Department of Justice and the FBI. He also aims to issue an order that will address the "eradication of anti-Christian discrimination" in the federal administration.
Trump also announced the creation of an Office of Faith in the White House. This office will be led by Paula White, known as a proponent of "prosperity theology."
A new Office of Faith: Trump continues with surprising reforms
The office will focus on the immediate cessation of Christian persecution and the prosecution of cases involving violence and vandalism against them. The President emphasized that these actions aim to defend the rights of believers across the country.
During his speech, Trump also criticized the leadership of the USAID agency. This is the main body of the American administration responsible for long-term assistance to countries recovering from natural disasters, combatting poverty, and implementing democratic reforms.
He accused USAID officials of "massive fraud" and squandering public funds. He highlighted $8 million (approximately 11.5 million Canadian dollars) spent on subscriptions to the Politico portal. According to sources, this amount turned out to be the total sum of federal expenditures for this purpose since 2016. This information had been publicly available for years.
