Melania Trump won’t join husband for White House meeting with Bidens
SUMMARY
Former First Lady Melania Trump will not attend an upcoming White House meeting with President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden, citing a scheduling conflict related to her new memoir, though sources say the decision isn’t final. After Donald Trump's election win, the Bidens extended the traditional invitation, following past protocols observed by First Ladies like Michelle Obama in 2016. Melania previously stated she would not reside in the White House if her husband returned to office, preferring instead to split her time between Palm Beach and New York. Supporting her transition, Goldman Sachs executive John F.W. Rogers has joined Melania’s team, with former CEO Lloyd Blankfein praising Rogers’ capabilities. Known for a lower public profile, Melania was less actively involved as First Lady than her predecessors and appears similarly reluctant about the role this term.
