Trump skips son’s wedding amid Iran tensionsIran tensions
US President Donald Trump said on Friday that he will not attend his eldest son Donald Trump Jr.’s wedding because he must stay in Washington for government business.
The decision comes as the White House says Trump has changed his weekend schedule amid growing tensions over Iran, making the episode a small but visible sign of the pressure surrounding the crisis.

The White House presented the change as a matter of official duties, saying the president needed to remain in Washington for government business. In that framing, the wedding conflict is secondary to the demands of managing a fast-moving foreign-policy crisis.
Trump’s public remarks
Trump said he would try to make the wedding but described the timing as not good. He also joked that he could be in trouble either way, linking the personal decision to the broader Iran situation.
- Palm Beach has long been a favored base for wealthy political and business networks in Florida.
- Bahamas weddings often attract high-profile visitors because of privacy and easy air access from the US East Coast.
- Bedminster, New Jersey, is one of Trump’s best-known private clubs and a frequent weekend retreat.
