Ashley Biden comments on Melania Trump’s refusal to arrange a White House tour

Ashley Biden, daughter of US President-elect Joe Biden, confirmed that First Lady Melania Trump had refused to invite her successor, Jill Biden, for a guest tour of the White House, considering it a “regrettable”.

She said in an interview with the American Al-Youm channel: “The current US President Donald Trump and his wife Melania do not comply with the traditional protocol.”

Earlier, Melania Trump refused to invite Jill Biden to the White House hospitality tour, in violation of a tradition that has lasted for more than 70 years, as the outgoing president’s wife receives the wife of the new head of state in the family suite at home, before the inauguration, and informs her of living quarters and life at home the White.

The tradition began in the 1950s, when President Harry Truman, wife of President Harry Truman, the wife of President-elect Dwight Eisenhower, was invited to the White House, and the wife of the 44th President of the United States, Michelle Obama, invited Melania Trump in 2016.
