Donald Trump’s speech on Islam is being drafted by Stephen Miller, who previously drafted the administration’s failed travel ban on seven Muslim-majority countries. The speech on combating radical Islam is to be given to around 50 Muslim leaders during the President’s first official visit to Saudi Arabia. Miller, who is senior adviser to the President, played a key role in drafting the Trump administration’s ban on people from seven Muslim-majority countries, which was denounced as a ban on Muslims. At the time, Miller said the project was aimed at educating students about the risk of “Islamofascism”. Trump’s speech will also have input from his son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner, McMaster and his deputy national security adviser Dina Powell.
