This Easter Sunday, as Christians around the world rejoice in the glorious resurrection of Jesus Christ, President Donald J. Trump stands as a fierce defender of the Christian faith. From his first day back in office, President Trump has made protecting people of faith a cornerstone of his Administration. Under his leadership, the U.S. is once again a beacon of religious liberty - honoring the biblical values and heritage that built our nation.
