Trump targets 'crisis of extremism'

Speech in Saudi Arabia part of effort to reset relations with the Muslim world

RIYADH - US President Donald Trump called on Arab leaders to confront "Islamist extremism" during a speech on Sunday in which he portrayed fighting terrorism as a battle between good and evil rather than a clash of civilizations.

"This is a battle between barbaric criminals who seek to obliterate human life, and decent people of all religions who seek to protect it," Trump said.
