WASHINGTON: U.S. President Donald Trump announced that he will not attend his eldest son’s wedding this week, citing obligations related to his role as president and his love for the country.
In a statement, the President congratulated his son, Donald Trump Jr., and his fiancée, Bettina Anderson (note: name corrected from “Kombar” as per recent reports, though your text used Kombar). He expressed that he wanted to be there for the couple but is compelled to remain in Washington.
“The circumstances related to the government and my love for America do not allow me to do so,” President Trump said. “It is necessary for me to be in the White House on this important occasion.”
According to U.S. media reports, the wedding ceremony for Donald Trump Jr. will take place later this week on a small, private island in the Bahamas. The guest list is expected to be limited to only close family members and a few select friends.
While the President will be absent, other members of the Trump family are expected to attend the destination wedding. The White House did not provide further details on what specific government matters require the President’s presence during the event.
