The mayor of Hamtramck, Michigan, a Muslim-majority city, has endorsed Donald Trump for US president after meeting with him privately. The endorsement comes amid anger among local Muslims over the Biden-Harris administration's support for Israel. The mayor, Amer Ghalib, made his endorsement on Facebook, stating that he believes Trump is a man of principles. Hamtramck has been a leader in pro-Palestinian positions since the outbreak of the Gaza war in 2023. Ghalib's endorsement of Trump has caused controversy, as he has previously promoted antisemitic ideas online.
