Washington, D.C. – In a gesture of outreach and inclusion, U.S. President Donald J. Trump hosted a Ramadan iftar dinner at the White House, where he delivered remarks emphasizing his administration’s ongoing commitment to the Muslim community and efforts to advance peace in the Middle East.

Addressing attendees that included religious leaders, diplomats, and representatives of Muslim American organizations, Trump highlighted the importance of honoring the values of faith, unity, and mutual respect during the holy month of Ramadan.

“We are committed to fulfilling our promises to the Muslim community,” Trump stated. “My administration is working tirelessly and engaging in robust diplomatic efforts to achieve a lasting peace in the Middle East, building on the historic accomplishments of the Abraham Accords.”

 

The Abraham Accords, signed during Trump’s presidency, normalized relations between Israel and several Arab nations, including the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco, and Sudan—an initiative widely recognized as a significant shift in regional dynamics.

 

Trump also reaffirmed his personal support for the Muslim community, stating:

 

“Throughout my presidency, I will continue to stand by you and remain a partner in fostering understanding and cooperation among people of all backgrounds.”

 

The evening’s event featured traditional Ramadan decor and a diverse iftar meal shared among guests, reflecting the cultural richness of Muslim traditions and the spirit of hospitality associated with the month.

Trump’s remarks come at a time of renewed focus on interfaith engagement and international diplomacy. By linking domestic inclusion with broader geopolitical objectives, the former president sought to underscore the interconnectedness of America’s values at home and its strategic interests abroad.
