President Trump announced Thursday that he would not attend his son Donald Trump Jr.’s wedding, citing unspecified government obligations and what he called his “love for the United States of America.”
Trump made the announcement on Truth Social at 1:11 p.m., writing that “circumstances pertaining to Government” required him to remain at the White House during “this important period of time” — without specifying what those circumstances are.
The post offered no detail on what government business would keep the president from the wedding, and the White House had not publicly announced any scheduled events or crises that would explain the absence as of the time of posting.
Trump did congratulate the couple in the post, writing, “Congratulations to Don and Bettina!” Don Jr. is set to marry Bettina Anderson, whom Trump referred to as “the newest member of the Trump Family.”
This is a developing story.
