United States President Donald Trump extended his greetings on Monday to Americans celebrating Diwali, the festival of lights, and described the celebrations as a reminder of light’s win over evil. In a post on X, the Republican leader also called the celebrations a time to come together with family and friends.
“Today, I send my best wishes to every American celebrating Diwali — the Festival of Lights. For many Americans, Diwali is a timeless reminder of light’s victory over darkness,” Trump said in a statement published on the White House official website.
“It is also a time to bring families and friends together to celebrate community, draw strength from hope, and embrace a lasting spirit of renewal. As millions of citizens light diyas and lanterns, we rejoice in the eternal truth that good will always triumph over evil. To every American celebrating Diwali, may this observance bring abiding serenity, prosperity, hope, and peace,” the statement added.
