Watch Trump Leave Wife Melania Awkwardly Hanging Outside During Visit With Czech Leader
Donald Trump created an awkward moment for first lady Melania Trump and Monika Babisova, the wife of Czech Republic Prime Minister Andrej Babis, when he appeared to leave them hanging outside the White House on Thursday.
In a video of the guests’ arrival, Trump greeted Babis and Babisova after they stepped out of a black car, then led Babis inside as Melania Trump stepped in the other direction, seemingly waiting for the traditional photo opportunity before going into the White House.
Babisova stood back with Melania Trump and the two women shrugged before following their husbands in.
Melania Trump and Babisova joined their husbands in the Oval Office for a meeting that is expected to touch on topics ranging from trade and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) to Syria to cybersecurity.

The four appeared to pose for a photo opportunity in another part of the White House.
Trump has been criticized on social media for appearing to forget about his wife before. On his inauguration day, Donald Trump walked up to greet President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama without waiting for Melania Trump, who exited the other side of the vehicle, to catch up.
(Watching this video makes me want to let out the most guttural cry because I miss Obama so much.)
Last October, Trump was photographed holding an umbrella over his head while speaking to reporters, leaving his wife without cover in the rain.
