Trump pledged to work alongside the West Asian nations to combat extremist ideology in the region. He said that all the countries from the U.S. to India, Australia to Russia had been "victim of terrorism and have suffered repeated barbaric attacks."
Without naming Pakistan, President said "every country must ensure that terrorists don't find any sanctuary on their lands", reported news agency ANI.
On Sunday afternoon, while addressing the leaders of 50 Muslim-majority countries in his first speech on a foreign soil, Trump, meanwhile, called on the Middle-eastern countries to combat the crisis of Islamic extremism coming out from the region.
Trump sought to chart a new course for America's role in the region and termed the fight against terrorism as a "battle between good and evil," and not a clash between "the West and Islam."
"This is not a battle between different faiths, different sects, or different civilisations," Trump said and added, "This is a battle between barbaric criminals who seek to obliterate human life, and decent people of all religions who seek to protect it. This is a battle between good and evil," news agency reported.
President of United States said that Muslim leaders must do more to confront extremism.
