Obama: Religious Freedom a US Diplomatic Priority
WASHINGTON February 6, 2014 (AP)
By NEDRA PICKLER Associated Press
President Barack Obama tells a non-denominational gathering of political leaders that freedom of religion across the world is important to national security and is a central tenet of U.S. diplomacy.
Obama says that message is not always easy to deliver. He says he has told leaders in China, Burma and Nigeria that they must do more to respect human rights, particularly religious freedom.
Obama spoke Thursday to the National Prayer Breakfast, a decades-old Washington tradition.
