Rabat – Since his election, United States President Donald Trump has refused to carry on Hillary Clinton’s tradition … until now. It appears Trump has changed his mind and decided to organize a f’tour at the White House this year in continuation of a tradition started under former President Bill Clinton.
According to the New York Times, the breakfast is scheduled for Wednesday, June 6, but the White House has refused to make the guest list public.
On May 15, before the start of Ramadan, Donald Trump wished Muslims around the world a great Ramadan, which “reminds us of the wealth that Muslims add to the religious landscape of American life.”
“In the United States, we are all blessed to live under a constitution that promotes religious freedom and respects religious practice. Our constitution guarantees that Muslims can celebrate Ramadan without being bothered by the government,” he said.
Trump was heavily criticized last year for ending the tradition that Bill Clinton began that was then adopted by George W. Bush and Barack Obama.
The current US president has repeatedly insinuated that Barack Obama was a Muslim. He has also made controversial statements about Muslims and in 2015, he said he was seriously considering closing mosques.
The same year, he attempted to prevent Muslims from entering the United States. As president, he fought to establish his “Muslim ban,” an anti-immigration decree that targets seven Muslim countries.
The tradition of having f’tour in the White House started in 1996 with Hillary Clinton, then First Lady of the United States, and has continued since.
