Melania to skip Camp David trip

Washington: United States First Lady Melania Trump will not accompany her husband President Donald to Camp David over the weekend.

With this, it has been the last 22 days that Melania last made a public appearance.

The First Lady last made a public appearance on May 10, when she accompanied her husband at Andrews Air Force Base to receive the three American detainees from North Korea.

Trump is scheduled to leave for his presidential retreat in Maryland, while Melania will remain at the White House over the weekend.

On May 14, Melania was admitted at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Maryland, where she underwent an embolization procedure to treat a benign kidney condition.

As per a White House official statement, the operation was successful. She was discharged on May 20.

Melania’s absence led to many people making widespread rumours and conspiracy theories.

On May 31, Melania tweeted that she was doing great at the White House.

“I see the media is working overtime speculating where I am & what I’m doing. Rest assured, I’m here at the @WhiteHouse w my family, feeling great, & working hard on behalf of children & the American people!” Melania wrote on the micro-blogging site.
