Trump hosted the naturalisation ceremony at the White House and the video of the ceremony was played during the second night of the Republican National Convention on Tuesday. Immigrants from five countries - India, Bolivia, Lebanon, Sudan and Ghana, stood in a line during the ceremony in the White House. Sudha Sundari Narayanan, a software developer from India, was among those sworn in as American citizens. Later, Trump said Narayanan is a “phenomenal success”, born in India, who came to the US 13 years ago. “Sudha is a talented software developer and she and her husband are raising two beautiful, wonderful children. Thank you very much and congratulations. Fantastic job.” He handed Narayanan, who was wearing a bright coral pink sari, her certificate of citizenship.
