President Donald Trump sought to expand on record levels of support he saw from the Muslim Arab community during a Ramadan event this week. 

The White House held a Ramadan iftar dinner Thursday evening, during which Trump addressed an audience that included Hamtramck Mayor Amer Ghalib and Dearborn Heights Mayor Bill Bazzi — two Muslim mayors in Michigan who shocked the Democratic Party when they endorsed Trump ahead of the 2024 presidential election. After he won the election, Trump tapped Ghalib to be ambassador to Kuwait and Bazzi to be ambassador to Tunisia.
