President Donald Trump on Thursday expressed gratitude to the Muslim community in the United States for supporting his election for a second term.
The president hosted faith leaders and diplomats at an iftar dinner at the White House where he thanked Muslims across America for voting for him “in record numbers.”
“I want to extend a very special thanks to the hundreds of thousands of Muslim Americans who supported us in record numbers in the 2024 presidential election”, he said.
“It was incredible. We started a little slow with you, but we came along,” Trump noted. “The Muslim community was there for us in November, and while I’m president, I will be there for you.”
The US leader said his administration is keeping its promises to the Muslim community and engaging in relentless diplomacy to forge lasting peace in the Middle East.
Trump also highlighted the efforts on the historic Abraham Accords, “which everybody said would be impossible,” assuring “we’re going to start filling them out.”
In attendance were Saudi Arabia’s ambassador Reema Bandar Al-Saud, Morocco’s ambassador Youssef Amrani, Pakistani ambassador Rizwan Saeed Sheikh, and UAE ambassador Yousef Al Otaiba, among others.
