Tillerson: Focus of Saudi visit is ending terrorism, essential to improving human rights


President Trump while in Saudi Arabia is getting “concrete commitments” from Persian Gulf leaders to end radical Islamic terrorism but is not pressing the issue of human rights violations in the regions, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said Sunday. Trump, who during his president campaign and presidency has been outspoken about the Muslim religion, has made the focus of his two-day visit to Saudi Arabia getting the Arab world to stop radical Islamic terrorism. However, he has publically avoided mentioning the free world’s concerns about the region’s shortcoming on woman and human right’s violations. Tillerson argued Sunday that the issues are in fact being discussed and that stopping terrorism is the first step. “The way you address those human rights issues and women’s rights issues is to improve the conditions in the region,” he said.
