President Donald Trump has said he will be unable to attend the wedding of his eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., pointing to what he described as pressing government responsibilities and ongoing international concerns. In a post on his Truth Social account on Friday, May 22, 2026, the US president explained that his duty to remain in Washington, D.C., at the White House took precedence over the family celebration.

President Donald Trump responds to reporters in the Oval Office today when asked whether or not he will be able to attend his son's wedding this weekend.
