Chidanand Rajghatta | TNN | Washington | Nov 14, 2018:: US President Donald Trump lit a ceremonial Diwali “Diya” in the White House on Tuesday in a surprise appearance at an event involving prominent Indian-Americans serving in the administration.

Trump said US-India ties were at their all-time best — “perhaps closer than ever before” — agreeing with the words of India’s ambassador to the US Navtej Sarna.

The chairman of the Federal Communications Commission Ajit Pai, Administrator of the Drug Enforcement Agency Uttam Dhillon, Administrator fo the Centres for Medicare and Medicaid Services Seema Verma and other Indian-Americans serving in the Trump administration took part in the brief ceremony held soon after the President returned from Europe.

Donald Trump, in a happy and relaxed mood despite the constant tumult in his administration, joked about being set up with a lamp that wouldn’t light as it took a while for the lamp to light. He ignored all political questions but warmly praised US-India ties and the contribution of Indian-Americans to the United States.

   “…perhaps closer than ever…” – rightly said by President Trump. These ties *MUST* be cemented alike a steel – this will benefit our great India and USA, alike. bnmehrotra from Boston, USA
