“Melania Trump refused Zelenska a personal audience, although she asked several times for a meeting,” – said an adviser

U.S. First Lady Melania Trump declined a personal audience with Olena Zelenska, the wife of the Ukrainian president.

This was announced on Fox News by Mark Beckman, senior adviser to the U.S. First Lady.

“The truth is that Mrs. Zelenska has reached out to Melania several times with a proposal to arrange a meeting, but no bilateral meeting, nothing formal, has been scheduled. Since our First Lady is very polite, she will say hello today, but no detailed conversation is planned, and no meeting has been arranged,” Beckman stated.

Yesterday, Melania Trump addressed other First Ladies on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, giving a speech on child protection and the safety of artificial intelligence.

According to CNN, “Ukraine’s First Lady Olena Zelenska, wife of President Volodymyr Zelensky, stood at the front of the crowded room alongside dozens of First Ladies, a handful of First Gentlemen, and at least one queen.”

“It was expected that Zelenska would meet Melania Trump after the event,” the outlet added.

However, the U.S. First Lady “immediately left the room after her brief speech, without greeting her counterparts, while the reception continued. Zelenska was later seen standing quietly near an elevator for several minutes.”
