On Tuesday, June 23, the road adjoining the U.S. Consulate in Hyderabad was officially renamed 'Donald Trump Avenue' during a gala reception celebrating 'Freedom 250', the 250th anniversary of American Independence. The event was jointly hosted by the Ambassador of the USA to India, Sergio Gor, and Telangana Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka.
