Melania Trump makes a rare appearance in her role as first lady
Melania Trump made a rare appearance on Wednesday in her role as first lady of the United States, to greet women who have distinguished themselves in the fight against injustices.
Surrounded by 12 of the 13 laureates of the International Women of Courage Award, Melania Trump denounced injustice and evil in an agreed speech, but sometimes seemed to be at odds with her husband’s statements on immigration or immigration. The theme under which he placed his entire presidency: “America first”.
“We must now begin to fight against our old fears and fight for justice and rise up against evil and injustice wherever they occur,” said Ms. Trump, who since her husband’s inauguration on July 20 January makes only a few official appearances and resides mainly in New York.
“As leaders of this global community that we share, we must continue to work to empower women and respect people of all origins and ethnicities, we must always remember that we are all members of The same race, the human race, “the first lady explained.
Three of the laureates present come from Muslim countries struck by the migratory decree – for now blocked by justice – which must prevent potential terrorists from entering the United States under the status of refugee or visa Too easily attributed.
Ms Trump, praising the courage of the laureates, emphasized that “it is women like them who will launch the world battle against inhumanity”.
“Together with the international community, the United States must deliver a clear message:” we are watching you “.
