Trump to hold first-ever Iftar dinner

Washington (Web Desk): US President Donald Trump will host the first-ever Iftar dinner at the White House this week in respect of the Muslim holy month of Ramazan.

The tycoon-turned-president is restoring a tradition of the previous US regimes that he had abandoned during his first year in Oval office.

According to US media, Trump will host the Iftar dinner on Wednesday but the guest list has not been released by the White House.

Each of former presidents Barack Obama, George W Bush and Bill Clinton held Iftar dinners during their presidencies, however, Trump did not uphold the tradition in 2017, at a time when he was intensifying anti-Muslim legislation.

The tradition of hosting a White House Iftar dates back to at least December 1805 when former President Thomas Jefferson hosted Tunisian ambassador Sidi Soliman Mellimelli.

However, Trump broke the centuries-old tradition in June last year and simply issued a statement.

Muslims all over the world fast during the days of this month and make special prayers at night and there is a majority of Muslims in the ‘Land of opportunities’ as well.

Besides the US, other countries including Canada and Germany also host Iftar dinner on an official level to cement the ties with Muslims.
