Donald Trump is unlikely to continue offending Muslims with controversial remarks once he takes office, according to former American ambassador to the UAE Marcelle Wahba.
Wahba - who now serves as president of the Arab Gulf States Institute of Washington, a DC-based think tank - was ambassador in the UAE between 2001 and 2004, when she was awarded the UAE's Order of Independence by the late Shaikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan.
In an interview with Khaleej Times, Wahba said that she believed that Trump's demeanor is likely to change once he is in the Oval Office.
"At the end of a political campaign things do change, and he's now the president-elect. After the inauguration, like any new American president he's going to look at the facts, consult with advisors, and act in the American national interest, everywhere," she said. "I think a lot of the rhetoric we heard in the election campaign will disappear."
Many questions remain regarding the specifics of Trump's foreign policies, Wahba added.
"We saw a lot of headlines from Trump during the campaign, but what we didn't see, especially on foreign policy, was a laid-out platform on how he was going to handle some of the questions and issues that he raised,"
Trump's worst comments about Muslims-Called for a ban on Muslims coming into the United States until the country "can figure out what is going on" -Said that Syrian refugees in the United States "could be one of the great Trojan horses" -Claimed he saw "thousands" of Muslims in New Jersey cheering and celebrating on September 11, 2001. Fact checkers have thoroughly debunked this claim. |
