President Donald Trump announced on social media that he would not attend the wedding of his son, Donald Trump Jr., and his fiancée, Bettina Anderson, citing responsibilities related to the government and his love for the United States.In his post, Trump emphasized the importance of remaining in Washington, D.C., at the White House during this period.The private wedding is set to take place on a private island in the Bahamas, with the couple reportedly eager to marry quickly.Previously, Trump had expressed uncertainty about attending, calling the timing inconvenient.

Publicly available schedules indicate that on the day of the wedding, Trump has planned activities at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, both in the morning and afternoon, despite claiming he would stay in Washington for official duties.
