First Lady Melania Trump arrived in Cairo, Egypt on Saturday morning. She was welcomed by Entissar Amer, the First Lady of Egypt, and Thomas Goldberger, the Chargé d’Affaires of the United States Embassy to Egypt.
The first stop for Mrs. Trump was Ittihadiya Palace, where she met with President Abdel Fattah Al Sisi and First Lady Entissar Amer. During this meeting, Mrs. Trump discussed her goals related to supporting children worldwide to ensure future generations have opportunities for meaningful contributions to society.
Afterwards, Mrs. Trump met with Thomas Goldberger and his wife Eden Goldberger, along with the staff of the United States Embassy. She expressed her gratitude for their service.
During her visit, Mrs. Trump explored some of Egypt’s cultural sites including the Sphinx and the Great Pyramid. She received a briefing about USAID’s Water Table Reduction Project at the base of the Sphinx.
“I want to thank President Abdel Fattah Al Sisi and First Lady Entissar Amer for hosting me in Egypt,” said First Lady Melania Trump. “It was a nice opportunity to see the pyramids in person, which are truly a historical treasure. We must always do our best to preserve such important historical sites, and I was so pleased to learn of the work that USAID has done to help with preservation efforts at the base of the Sphinx.”
