Yes — according to multiple reports this week, U.S. President Donald Trump did not attend the wedding celebrations of his eldest son Donald Trump Jr. and Bettina Anderson in the Bahamas.
Trump publicly said he stayed in Washington because of government duties and the Iran situation.
Reports say Trump initially suggested he might try to attend, but later confirmed he would not go, writing that “circumstances pertaining to Government” required him to remain at the White House. [Kudos to Trump senior here]
The wedding itself appears to have gone ahead as a relatively small private event with family members including Ivanka, Eric, and Tiffany Trump attending.
So, in short: yes, he effectively gave up attending his son’s wedding weekend, at least publicly citing presidential responsibilities as the reason.
