First Lady of the USA Melania Trump on Monday goes on tour in Africa. This is her first major solo overseas trip since her husband Donald Trump became president..

According to the Voice of America, citing a message from the White House, Melania’s five-day Trump tour will cover four countries — Ghana, Malawi, Kenya and Egypt — and will focus on issues such as helping mothers and newborns in hospitals, children's education, and studying the culture and history of each of these countries and how the US helps each country on its way to self-sufficiency.

Child welfare protection is a major aspect of the Be the Best campaign launched by Melania Trump earlier this year..

Melania Trump's trip can be somewhat complicated by the actions and statements of her spouse, who spoke in sharp expressions about African countries.

As Jad Devermont, Director of the African Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, notes, Ms. Trump has a difficult job to do on this trip, “and this is a bit unfair because this is not something that should be devoted to the First Lady’s tour”.

Joshua Mezervi, Lead Specialist for African Countries at the Heritage Foundation, believes that President Trump’s words will not affect his spouse’s first visit to Africa.

“I believe that relations between the US and Africa are much bigger than the comments of the president, and it has been like this for decades,” he notes.. - To be honest, I suspect that the vast majority of average Africans have not even heard of these clashes.. This is more to the elite. ”.

Going to Africa, Melania Trump follows the example of other first ladies: Hillary Clinton, Laura Bush and Michelle Obama have been to the continent many times..
