(Detroit News) Hamtramck Mayor Amer Ghalib said he met with former President Donald Trump in Flint Tuesday in a private 20-minute meeting and Trump asked for the Muslim politician’s endorsement.

The Republican presidential candidate campaigned Tuesday night at the Dort Financial Center in Flint, and Ghalib said he and Trump met at the events center before Trump addressed the crowd.

“He knew a lot about me before the meeting,” Ghalib said Wednesday in a text message to the Detroit News.

“We talked about various topics including the debates, the polls updates, the statistics of votes in Michigan and Wayne County, the Arab American concerns and the Yemeni Americans in particular. We also talked about the situation in Yemen,” Ghalib added.
