Religious freedom panel urges Trump, Congress to nominate and confirm envoy
“Advancing religious freedom protects a fundamental human right that underpins a nation’s security, economic prosperity and stability,” said the chair of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom.

With global religious persecution rising, the Commission's call highlights bipartisan urgency to fill the post. The next step is whether the administration prioritizes this nomination amid competing foreign policy pressures.
