"Melania Trump will be making history next week as the first sitting first lady to preside over the United Nations' Security Council. She will take up the gavel on March 2 to emphasize education's role in advancing tolerance and world peace, according to her office, as members focus on education, technology, peace, and security."
"It comes as the first lady has focused some of her time in the second Trump term on pushing to reunite children from war-torn Ukraine with their families, including corresponding with Russian President Vladimir Putin on the effort. She has also used her "Be Best" campaign to support an initiative called Fostering the Future to secure educational opportunities for children in foster care."
"The first lady's historic appearance at the U.N. comes as the president, 79, continues to disparage the global organization. He repeatedly blasts it for the teleprompter not working at the start of his address before the General Assembly in September."
Melania Trump will make history by presiding over the United Nations Security Council on March 2, the first sitting first lady to do so. The session will emphasize education's role in promoting tolerance and world peace, with focus areas including education, technology, peace, and security. The New York-based U.N. headquarters provides convenient access for the first lady, who resides at Trump Tower in Manhattan rather than the White House. She will be accompanied by U.S. Ambassador Mike Waltz and National Security Council members. Beyond this role, Melania has concentrated efforts on reuniting Ukrainian children separated by war with their families and supporting educational opportunities for children in foster care through her Be Best campaign.
