The President of the United States, Donald Trump, has disclosed the reason behind his absence from the wedding of his son, Donald Trump Jr.
Posting on his official X account (formerly Twitter), Trump noted that while he would have loved to celebrate with his son and fiancée Bettina, his governmental obligations and dedication to the nation prevent him from leaving Washington, D.C. at this time.
He emphasized that staying at the White House is essential due to ongoing national matters that require his direct oversight.
“Although I truly wished to be with my son, Don Jr., and the newest member of the Trump family, his soon‑to‑be wife Bettina, the demands of government and my love for the United States make it impossible for me to attend.”
“I believe it is vital for me to remain in Washington, D.C., at the White House during this critical period. Congratulations to Don and Bettina!” he wrote in his tweet.
His decision coincides with heightened political focus in the capital, where several pressing issues continue to require presidential attention.
The statement has garnered significant online traction, with supporters and well‑wishers extending congratulations to the couple ahead of their nuptials.
