Trump celebrates Diwali, Says he spoke with Modi on trade


US President Donald Trump lit lamps at the White House on Tuesday to celebrate Diwali. He was joined by Indian-American officials and community leaders. A traditional five-wick brass lamp was placed on a flower-decorated table near the Resolute Desk. Trump said the lamp stands for the victory of light over darkness and good over evil. Top officials like FBI Director Kash Patel and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard were present at the event. Before the ceremony, Trump said he had spoken with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He said the discussion was mainly about trade. Trump also said that India would not buy large amounts of Russian oil in the future. @@@
