Washington: US President Donald Trump said he has not decided whether to attend his son Donald Trump Jr’s wedding, which would take place this weekend – a long weekend in the US – in the Bahamas.

“He would like me to go, but it will just be a small, private matter,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Thursday (US time), when asked if he would attend the ceremony.

“I’m going to try to make it happen. I’m in the middle – I said, ‘You know, this isn’t the right time for me’. I have a thing called Iran and some other things.”

Trump claimed he would be criticized by the media if he went to the wedding in the middle of a war with Iran – although there is a cease-fire – and also if he stayed away.

“This is an issue I can’t win on. If I participate in it, I get killed, if I don’t participate in it, I get killed – because of the fake news, of course, that I’m talking about,” he said.

“But he [Trump Jr] I have a very – a person that I’ve known for a long time. And I hope they have a great marriage.

The New York Post’s Page Six section reported this week that Trump Jr. will marry his partner, Bettina Anderson, over the Memorial Day long weekend, which runs from Saturday to Monday, on a private island in the Bahamas.

Such a trip would be logistically difficult and costly for a sitting president, given security requirements. However, he regularly leaves Washington to spend weekends at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida or at his private golf club in New Jersey.

Trump Jr, 48, runs the family business with his brother Eric and was active in his father’s political campaigns. He separated from his previous wife, Vanessa, in 2018 after 13 years of marriage; they have five children.

He then became engaged to Kimberly Guilfoyle, a former Fox News host who was once married to California’s Democratic governor, Gavin Newsom.

Guilfoyle became a Republican and raised money for Donald Trump, but she and Trump Jr split in 2024. Trump appointed her as US ambassador to Greece.

It was in August 2024 that Trump Jr was first photographed with Anderson, a socialite and model, “canoodling” at a restaurant in Palm Beach, Florida.

He reportedly proposed to the 39-year-old in December while they were at Camp David, the official presidential retreat in Maryland, which has hosted major summits during previous presidencies.

As of March, Vanessa Trump is still reportedly dating American golf legend Tiger Woods, who returned to the United States after completing a rehabilitation program overseas following an arrest for drunk driving.

She revealed this week that she was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent a medical “intervention.”
