President Donald Trump, his wife, Melania, and daughter Ivanka, arrived in Poland to a warm welcome on July 5 in advance of the G20 Summit.
Ivanka’s husband, Jared Kushner, was also along on the trip, which was the president’s second foreign trip.
According to NBC News, Trump was “greeted by U.S. Ambassador to Poland Paul Jones and his wife, as well as Polish Minister of Foreign Affairs Witold Waszczykowski and Minister of State Krzysktof Szczerski, before loading into the motorcade.”
Melania Trump wore a green coat with scarf. Ivanka Trump wore a red suit.
The president was expected to give a speech to the Polish people on July 6 in Krasinski Square, NBC reported, likely commemorating Polish courage during World War II. The square commemorates “a 1944 anti-Nazi uprising, one of the country’s most important historical chapters,” Politico reports.
Trump is expected to receive a warm welcome in Poland, which is run by a “populist, nationalist” government, according to The Washington Post. The Post reported that Trump’s choice of Poland to start his foreign trip is regarded as a “snub” at the EU.
The Polish government is conservative, and Trump chose Poland as his first stop over “more powerful American allies like Germany, France or Britain,” The New York Times reported. The Polish will be watching for whether Trump “reaffirms the United States’ commitment to respond to an attack on another NATO member,” according to The New York Times.
After the Polish trip, Trump will head to Hamburg, Germany for the G20 summit. There, Trump will meet with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, with whom there have been tensions. He also may sit down for a much anticipated meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Among the topics on the agenda at the G20: “Trade, climate and migration,” according to CNN.
In contrast to the warm reception in Warsaw, Trump is expected to find protests in Hamburg.
“The United States made some of the worst Trade Deals in world history,” Trump tweeted before leaving for Poland. “Why should we continue these deals with countries that do not help us?”
Thanks for sharing...nice pics.

Gorgeous coat and scarf on FLOTUS Melania. Gorgeous Melania too.
You gotta love the Poles!
Fiercely intelligent, fiercely independent.
What’s with the two headed dragon on the bus?
Her husband was a pretty high up businessman in Poland and Sweden before he passed away. She still has an apartment in Sweden and when she goes back home, she always goes up to check on her sub renters there.
Anyway, she says the Poles never smile in public like here in the USA. Its a result of communism for years and years. Also, they really would come off kind of rude if you did not know them. Also a result of Communism for years and years. At the stores/restaurants, you need to be patient as the service is such that they will get to you when they get to you. ANOTHER result from communism. But, said its getting better quickly. They really like the Americans and especially this POTUS.
The lady can speak 7 languages fluently. She hates the Russians, and despises the Germans. The French smell, and Denmark is all messed up because of immigration-and that was before this debacle Merkel started.

So many great pictures.
“Fiercely intelligent, fiercely independent.”
Indeed they are. I was not aware of the extent of the conflict between the USSR and Poland in 1920. As I understand it, Lenin and Trotsky sent 400,000 red army troops as an invasion force into Poland with a final destination of Paris (London?). The Polish armies defeated and hurled back into the USSR that invasion force. That was a small but not insignificant contribution of American pilots who flew for Poland.
That is truly a great outfit from top to bottom. And a nice change of pace to wear black in hot weather; it’s not as if she was going to be outside for any length of time.
I am getting tired of her never holding her husbands hand. It just seems too mean of her. Don’t get me wrong but I don’t understand the action.
