US President Donald Trump on Sunday named India among the countries that had suffered terror, as he addressed the Arab-Islamic-US summit. He said that countries must ensure that terror groups didn’t find sanctuary on their soil.
“The nations of Europe have also endured unspeakable horror, so too have nations of Africa and South America, India, Russia, China, Australia have all been victims,” Mr Trump said.
Without naming Pakistan, the US President said “every nation has an absolute duty to ensure that terrorists find no quarter on their soil.”Mr Trump was addressing the leaders of 50 Muslim-majority countries on Sunday afternoon in his first speech on foreign soil.

America, he said, had suffered repeated barbaric attacks, from September 11 to the Boston bombings and the Orlando attack.
Terming the fight against terrorism as a “battle between good and evil,” and not a clash between “the West and Islam,” Mr Trump sought to chart a new course for America’s role in the region – aimed at rooting out terrorism.
