On Tuesday, for the second time in as many weeks, Donald Trump tweeted about his commitment to end the persecution of Christians. By doing so, he is bringing desperately needed attention to what’s brutally happening to more than 365 million people worldwide simply because they follow Jesus Christ.

I work with an amazing Save the Persecuted Christians coalition committed to doing just that by holding accountable – and penalizing – those who perpetrate such crimes against humanity. 

In fact, as president, Mr. Trump showed in microcosm the effectiveness of this approach when he sanctioned Turkey to achieve the release of Andrew Brunson, a pastor it was then persecuting. It must next be done at scale.

God bless President Trump for standing with Christians! Do so now by boycotting Azerbaijan’s upcoming climate change conference over its past and impending genocides of Armenian Christians.
