Today is Nowruz, the Persian New Year. Yesterday President Trump issued a Message (full text) sending wishes to those celebrating the holiday. The Message said in part:
Nowruz is a joyous occasion for the Persian people, marking the beginning of spring, and the Persian New Year. This long-standing tradition presents a time to reflect on the blessings of the previous year and prepare for the coming spring with a renewed spirit of optimism.
The Persian people with their vibrant culture and exceptional talents in fields such as math, science, law, technology, and the arts, make many integral contributions to society. On behalf of the United States, I extend my kindest regards for a joyous holiday.
