On Islam, Trump Takes a Different Approach at Home and Abroad

President Donald Trump speaks at an iftar dinner event in the State Dining Room at the White House, in Washington, June 6, 2018. The White House’s guest list last week for Trump’s first dinner celebrating the Muslim holy month of Ramadan included a who’s who of diplomats from the Middle East. But the event turned out to be more notable for who apparently was not there: representatives from Muslim American groups. Past presidents have used the event to highlight noteworthy Muslim Americans. (Tom Brenner/The New York Times)
