Trump thanks Muslims for 2024 support during White House iftar dinner

US President Donald Trump thanked the "hundreds of thousands" of Muslim Americans who lent him their support during the 2024 presidential election as he hosted the first White House Ramadan iftar dinner of his second term in office, according to Anadolu Agency.

Trump said the Muslim community "was there for us in November," referring to last year's election, and vowed to "be there for you" in return.

"As we honor the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, let me begin by saying to our Muslim friends, we have many tonight, and I think we have many all over the world based on the results in Michigan, other places, but I just want to say hello to all of the people that supported us so strongly, Ramadan Mubarak," he said in the State Dining Room.

"We're keeping our promises to the Muslim community. My administration is engaged in relentless diplomacy to forging lasting peace in the Middle East, building on the historic Abraham Accords, which everybody said would be impossible, and now we're going to start filling them out," he added.
