World leaders such as US President Joe Biden, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Canadian Premier Justin Trudeau took to Twitter to send out greetings to the Muslims.
Biden tweeted: “As the crescent moon ushers in the month, [first lady] Jill and I send our warmest greetings and best wishes to Muslim communities in the United States and around the world. Ramadan Kareem.”

I’m afraid that again this year it is necessary to follow the rules to stay safe but I hope this month of fast, prayer and charity brings much peace and reflection to all Muslims.”
