Donald Trump has stated he would support legislation prohibiting Sharia law in the United States, arguing that the country must have only one legal system. Trump made these remarks in an interview with conservative broadcaster Glenn Beck. He claimed that Sharia law is already being followed in some parts of the United States, but did not identify specific places or provide evidence for this assertion. Trump also pointed to European capitals, citing London and Paris, as examples where Islamic religious law operates as a 'second way of life'. He told Beck that he would support a prohibition, framing the issue as one of common sense. Trump did not specify whether he would seek new federal legislation, issue an executive order, or support an existing congressional proposal to prohibit Sharia law, nor did he explain how such a prohibition would be structured. He stated that authorities would act wherever they found Sharia law being applied, saying, 'You have to take it out'. The interview also touched on affordability, with Trump blaming Democrats for high prices and stating his administration had brought them down. He cited prices for fuel, groceries, and eggs, maintaining that his administration had substantially lowered them. He also said beef prices were beginning to decline. ## Disagreement on Trump's specific plans While Donald Trump stated he would support legislation prohibiting Sharia law, the reports differ on whether he specified the method. The Siasat Daily reported that Trump did not spell out whether he would seek new federal legislation, issue an executive order, or support an existing congressional proposal. Other reports do not mention this detail. ## What the coverage left out None of the reports mention whether Donald Trump specified how he would seek to prohibit Sharia law, such as through new federal legislation, an executive order, or support for an existing congressional proposal.

They highlighted his claim that Sharia law is already present in pockets of the United States and his comparison of London and Paris to cities where Islamic law operates as a 'second way of life'. These reports also noted Trump's assertion that the country must have only one legal system and his comments on affordability, where he blamed Democrats for high prices. ### Centre No separate framing summary. ### Right - The right-rated reports led with Donald Trump's strong stance on banning Sharia law in America, often quoting his assertion that 'We have one system'. They emphasised his statement that he would 'absolutely' support prohibiting Sharia law and his reasoning that the US must remain governed by a single legal framework. These reports also included Trump's comments about London and Paris being examples of cities where Islamic law is 'almost like a second way of life'. Some reports mentioned that his stance resonates with conservative voters and that Democrats 'go ballistic' in response. **Provisional coverage gap:** left.
