Pres. Trump reaches out to the African-American community

The Trump administration is reaching out to the African-American community as Black History Month gets underway in the U.S. 

The majority of black voters cast their ballots for Hillary Clinton, although her campaign has been criticized for failing to do enough to reach out to this key interest group which traditionally votes Democrat.

President Trump insists, something has to be done about the murder rate in Chicago, after one participant in the meeting said gang members had reached out to him.

The American president says the African American community helped him win the White House.
