President Donald Trump has confirmed he will not attend the upcoming wedding of his eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., to socialite Bettina Anderson in the Bahamas.

The announcement comes amid a period of heightened personal and public scrutiny for the Trump family.

The president had previously indicated uncertainty about his ability to attend the event, but his latest statement confirms the absence.

The wedding is set to take place this weekend, with details about the guest list and ceremony remaining private.

The decision follows recent developments involving Donald Trump Jr. and his ex-wife, Vanessa Trump, with whom he has five children.

This week, Vanessa Trump disclosed that she has been diagnosed with breast cancer, adding to the family's ongoing challenges.
