During the state dinner at the White House, US President Joe Biden and Prime Minister Narendra Modi shared lighthearted moments while raising a toast. Interestingly, both leaders are teetotalers, and President Biden took the opportunity to share his grandfather's advice on raising a toast without alcohol. Addressing the distinguished gathering of approximately 400 guests, President Biden recounted his grandfather, Ambrose Finnegan's words of wisdom. Finnegan used to say, "If you give a toast and you don't have any alcohol in the glass, you must do it with your left hand. You all think I'm kidding. I'm not." #WATCH | Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Joe Biden, at the State Dinner at the White House. pic.twitter.com/r0LkOADAZ6 — ANI (@ANI) June 23, 2023 × The audience burst into laughter while the translator attempted to convey the humour in Hindi.
