US President Donald Trump has backed a proposal to prohibit Sharia law in America, saying the United States should have one legal system.  The president also claimed Sharia law is being followed in some “pockets” of the US, but did not identify any locations or provide evidence for the claim.  Trump has not specified how such a ban would be implemented or whether he supports a particular bill.
