Trump explains why he is set to miss eldest son’s wedding in Bahamas

  • Donald Trump will not attend his eldest son, Donald Trump Jr .'s, wedding to Bettina Anderson, which is reportedly taking place in the Bahamas this weekend.
  • Trump initially told reporters he would "try to make" the intimate ceremony but cited the "Iran war" as a reason for potential absence, with sources later confirming he would skip it.
  • He stated he would be criticised by "fake news" whether he attended or not, and also suggested his absence would help keep the small ceremony private.
  • Instead of attending the wedding, Trump's weekend schedule indicates he will remain in Bedminster, New Jersey, likely at his golf club.
  • This will be Donald Trump Jr.'s second marriage and third engagement, with the wedding expected to be a private affair with fewer than 50 guests.
