Is there going to be a dinner for the President and the first lady?

No, it is not a state visit from the US to Belgium. President Trump is in Brussels to attend a NATO meeting and made a courtesy visit to the King at the Royal Palace. He also met with the Belgian PM.

 

[MissByrd]

According to today's Washington Examiner, The First Lady Melania Trump, speaks: Slovenian, English, German, French, Italian and Serbian-Croatian. B
