US-Iran War Stalemate Unresolved, Trump Admits Attending Son's Wedding is 'Bad Timing'

(Washington, May 21, CNA) US President Trump stated today that he would try his best to attend his eldest son Donald Trump Jr.'s wedding, but admitted it was 'bad timing' due to the unresolved US-Iran conflict. US media reported that 48-year-old Donald Trump Jr. is expected to remarry this weekend, tying the knot with Bettina Anderson in the Bahamas. However, at this time, Trump is working to push for an agreement to end the US-Iran war. This war has led to a decline in Trump's approval ratings and sparked voter dissatisfaction over rising living costs ahead of this November's midterm elections. When asked if he would attend his son's wedding, Trump told reporters in the Oval Office, 'He wants me to go. It's just a small, private wedding, and I'll try my best to get there.' Trump said, 'I told him, 'This is not a very good time for me. I have this Iran thing, and other things to deal with right now,'' adding how the media would report if he attended the wedding while the war remained in a stalemate. 'I can't win with this,' Trump said. 'If I go, I'll be criticized, and if I don't go, I'll also be hammered, of course, by the fake news... I hope their marriage is happy.' Donald Trump Jr. is the Executive Vice President of The Trump Organization and an active supporter of his father's 'Make America Great Again' political agenda. He frequently appears alongside his father, including earlier this month when the two returned to the White House from Mar-a-Lago in Florida. Donald Trump Jr. stated last year that he 'may one day' run for president. President Trump's second and final term is set to expire in January 2029, and the Republican president has not yet named a successor.
