On Saturday, former President Donald Trump spoke at a conference organized by Hak Ja Han Moon, the widow of the Rev. Sun Myung Moon, who founded the Unification Church.

Moon founded the church in South Korea in 1954 before moving to the US in 1971, and the church has been widely described as a cult.

Trump was a featured keynote speaker at the Rally of Hope event, which coincided with the 20th anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

"I want to thank the Universal Peace Federation and in particular Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon, a tremendous person, for her incredible work on behalf of peace all over the world," Trump said in his remarks.

"What they have achieved on the peninsula is just amazing. In just a few decades, the inspiration that they have caused for the entire planet is unbelievable, and I congratulate you again and again."

Moon, who died in 2012, called himself a messiah and said he had been asked by Jesus Christ to continue Christ's work on earth.

The controversial church, whose followers are colloquially referred to as Moonies, gained attention for arranging mass weddings between strangers.

The group is still active around the world.
