President Trump Participates in Diwali Celebration at White House with Indian-American Leaders
US President Donald Trump participated in a Diwali celebration at the White House Oval Office, continuing a tradition started by President George W. Bush in 2003. The event included lighting a diya and was attended by Indian-American leaders, entrepreneurs, CEOs, and diplomats such as India's Ambassador Vinay Mohan Kwatra, entrepreneur Vishal Gondal, and chef Vikas Khanna. Gondal gifted Trump a copy of the Hanuman Chalisa, and prayers were offered for strengthened India-US ties and the triumph of light over darkness.
