The president confirmed Friday that he will not attend the wedding of his eldest son this weekend. He cited the demands of his office and the ongoing conflict with Iran as reasons for remaining in Washington. In a Truth Social post, the president wrote that while he "very much wanted to be with" his son and the "newest member of the Trump Family," his role and "circumstances pertaining to Government" did not allow it.

The couple, who became engaged in December, are holding a deliberately small ceremony on a private island in the Bahamas. The guest list is reportedly kept under fifty and limited to immediate family and close friends.
