The White House usually picks a photo of the day. On June 28, the image they chose showed two girls from Nigeria who were abducted in 2014 by Boko Haram but managed to escape: Joy Bishara and Lydia Pogu.

I don’t know about you, but I was living in this country in 2014.
Amazingly NPR takes a beautiful story of two young ladies and manages to make it sound like Trump was hiding sometime because the media wasn’t informed about the meeting.
