"When the wife of President Donald Trump takes her seat in the president's chair on Monday afternoon, it will be the first time a first lady, or first gentleman for that matter, has ever presided over a Security Council meeting, U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric told reporters."
"The first lady's office said the meeting she will preside over will emphasize education's role in advancing tolerance and world peace. Melania Trump has made children in conflict one of her signature issues, writing a letter to Russian President Vladimir Putin last year ahead of a summit with President Trump."
"U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned late last month that the United Nations faces imminent financial collapse unless its financial rules are overhauled or all member nations pay their dues, a message clearly directed at the United States."
Melania Trump will preside over a U.N. Security Council meeting in March, marking the first time a first lady has held this position. The meeting will emphasize education's role in advancing tolerance and world peace, aligning with her signature focus on children in conflict. This occurs amid President Trump's criticism of the United Nations and his administration's withdrawal from several U.N. organizations and withholding of funding. The U.S. owes billions in dues, and U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has warned of imminent financial collapse without payment compliance or reformed financial rules.
