Baku-APA. Donald Trump has visited a black church in Detroit in an attempt to claw some of the minority vote away from Democratic rival Hillary Clinton, APA reports quoting BBC.
He told the congregation he "fully understands that the African American community has suffered discrimination".
Polls say Mr Trump, who is lagging behind Mrs Clinton, has low support among black and Hispanic voters.
He was accompanied by Ben Carson, the former Republican presidential hopeful who grew up in the city.
Mr Trump arrived at the church to the sound of protests against him taking place outside. Inside, he gave a scripted one-on-one interview with the church's pastor, Bishop Wayne T Jackson, which will be aired by Bishop Jackson's own Impact TV network next week.
The firebrand presidential candidate then attended a service at the church before addressing the congregation with a prepared speech, during which he struck an unusually measured tone.
"Nothing is more sad than when we sideline young black men with tremendous potential," he said.
