Donald Trump won't host iftar dinner

Washington: Breaking a decades-long tradition, Donald Trump’s government has not held an iftar dinner for the end of Ramzan, a tradition held at the White House for more than two decades. White House officials reportedly spend months planning the event, which has been held every year under the Clinton, Bush and Obama administrations, but 2017 took a different path, the Independent reported. The White House, however, issued a statement on late Saturday evening wishing Muslims Id mubarak. Earlier this year secretary of state Rex Tillerson said the government would not host the dinner.
