Donald Trump thanked the “hundreds of thousands” of Muslim Americans who helped to elect him president as he hosted an iftar at the White House on Thursday. The event was attended by Saudi Arabia’s ambassador to the US Princess Reema bint Bandar along with other representatives from Muslim countries, the Muslim community in America, and senior administration officials. “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,” Trump said. “It was incredible. We started a little slow with you, but we came along and by the time that election was finished we went up like a rocket ship.”
