Shafaq News/ US President-elect Donald Trump is scheduled to meet with leaders of the Arab and Muslim community in the United States and honor them, including the Iraqi Elina Habba, the lawyer who was known for being one of Trump’s defenders and one of his most prominent supporters in the elections.
Leaders of the Arab and Muslim American community revealed that a meeting will be held between President-elect Donald Trump and his Vice President, Geddy Vance, with community leaders in Washington, DC, two days before the inauguration of the president-elect for a new term on January 20.
The leaders explained to the “Erem News” website that “this meeting is an embodiment of the commitment that Trump made to the community during his election campaign in Michigan last fall.”
They pointed out that “the meeting will be a celebration of Trump’s success in winning the elections, in addition to renewing the emphasis on the special relationship that has linked Arab and Muslim American voters to the Republican Party in recent years.”
The leaders revealed that the list of invitees to this meeting will include, in addition to officials of Arab and Muslim origins who were appointed to the new Trump administration, community leaders who were in the front lines of supporting Trump’s campaign in an attempt to win the votes of the Arab and Muslim community in Michigan and the rest of the US states.
After announcing his victory in the elections, President Trump took the initiative to appoint Americans of Arab and Muslim origins to senior positions in his new administration.
Leaders explained to “Erem News” that there are other appointments on the way for more Arab Americans in the Trump administration in the days and weeks that will follow the president’s swearing-in.
Among the names to be honored at the meeting are Trump’s senior Middle East adviser, Massad Boulos, ambassador-designate to Turkey Tom Barrack, Iraqi-born lawyer Elina Habba, adviser to the president, and the appointed “Doctor of the Nation” of Jordanian origin, Janet Nesheiwat, in addition to Muslim physician Mehmet Oz and Egyptian-born physician Martha McCary, who was appointed director of the Food and Drug Administration.
