Trump Skips Son's Wedding Citing Iran, Government Business

On Friday, US President Donald Trump revealed he will miss his eldest son Donald Trump Jr.'s wedding to socialite Bettina Anderson due to government responsibilities. CNN reported that the ceremony is set for this weekend on a secluded island in the Bahamas. In a social media update, Trump expressed that his commitment to the United States necessitates his presence in Washington, DC, at the White House during this significant time. Earlier, he mentioned to reporters that “a thing called Iran” made the timing unfavorable for him. According to a marriage license filed in Palm Beach County, Florida, the couple is already legally wed as of Thursday. A representative for Trump Jr. did not provide any comments. Trump acknowledged his son's desire for him to be present but referred to the gathering as a "small private affair."
