Trump is the first president to talk about religious freedom at the UNGA.

Melania Trump falsely claimed that Donald Trump is the first president to talk about religious freedom at the United Nations General Assembly.

On the second night of the Republican National Convention, Melania Trump claimed that President Donald Trump was the first president to speak about the importance of religious freedom at the UN General Assembly. However, that is not true. Other presidents have addressed the United Nations on the topic of religious freedom, including President Barack Obama. He defended religious freedom at the UNGA on September 25, 2012.
