Muslim mayor in Michigan state refuses to meet with Trump
ANKARA (AA) – Abdullah H. Hammoud, the Muslim mayor of the US city of Dearborn in Michigan state, has publicly declined requests to meet with Donald Trump.
“The architect of the Muslim Ban is making a campaign stop in Dearborn,” he said on X, explaining his reasons for the refusal.
“People in this community know what Trump stands for – we suffered through it for years,” he lamented, adding: “I’ve refused a sit down with him although the requests keep pouring in.”
“Trump will never be my president,” the mayor underscored, reflecting the sentiments of many in his community who view the former president’s past policies as harmful.
The mayor also addressed the Democratic Party, urging them to reconsider their actions: “Your unwillingness to stop funding & enabling a genocide (referring to Israel’s war on Gaza) created the space for Trump to infiltrate our communities. Remember that.”
Despite a UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate cease-fire, Israel has continued its war on Gaza. It has killed more than 43,200 people, mostly women and children, according to local health authorities.
Israel faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its actions in Gaza.
