Barack Obama's half-brother Malik recalled lukewarm reception at the White House and said Donald Trump could "make America great again".

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — US President Barack Obama’s half-brother Malik will attend the Third US Presidential Debate as a guest of Donald Trump where he intends to root for the Republican nominee.

“I’m excited to be at the debate. Trump can make America great again,” Malik told the New York Post on Tuesday.

Malik added that the last time he saw his brother was after President Obama’s visit to Kenya in 2015 and it was not a warm reception.

"I went to the White House to say hello. I paid a courtesy call…. As usual, it was a hands-off kind of thing, very businesslike, very formal,” he pointed out.
