US President Joe Biden and PMModi laughed together during a formal state dinner held at the White House. The two presidents shared a non-alcoholic toast when President Biden recalled his grandfather, Ambrose Finnegan, who advised against drinking alcohol when sharing a toast. In a light-hearted moment, Biden said, "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."
