At tonight’s dinner, we especially are pleased to welcome members of the diplomatic corps, representing our friends and partners across the globe.

... Iftars mark the coming together of families and friends to celebrate a timeless message of peace, clarity, and love. There is great love. It’s a moment to call upon our highest ideals, and to give thanks for the many blessings we enjoy. Thank you very much.
AP reports on the event, contrasting the President's welcoming remarks with anti-Muslim rhetoric used during his campaign. Some Muslim groups, in protest, organized a "NOT Trump’s Iftar" across from the White House.
