Trump Pledges to Prohibit Sharia Law in U.S.

President Donald Trump declared on Wednesday, August 26, 2026, that he would "absolutely prohibit" Sharia law in the United States, asserting that the country must be governed by a single legal system. The comments came during a live interview with conservative radio host Glenn Beck, where Trump was asked directly if he would support federal action to prevent Sharia law from operating as a competing legal authority. Trump stated that he believes small pockets of the practice already exist in the country and cited London and Paris as examples of places where a separate way of life has become visible.
