Melania Trump to lead UN security council session, White House says

First lady to preside over meeting on ‘children, technology and education in conflict’ in New York next month

Melania Trump is set to lead a session of the United Nations security council on Monday, coinciding with the US assuming the body’s rotating monthly presidency, the White House announced.

According to a statement, first cited by CNN, the first lady plans to spotlight education as a tool for fostering tolerance and promoting global peace at the global body, which has its headquarters in New York.

The session, titled Children, Technology, and Education in Conflict, will mark the first time the first lady to a sitting US president has presided over the 15-member council, and kicks off the first session to mark the United States’ latest stint presiding.

Unfortunately for her, the Epstein files just put her back in that spotlight.

It’s a joke. I mean the UN is already a joke, but the heads of state of these other countries are so pathetic, why can’t theyjust say “fuck this, this is a waste of time, I’m sure I can find Slovenian porn stars on pornhub”.

Oh and Newsom was right a few weeks ago. These organizations’ heads should all get on their knees. Bunch of elitest hack offs.
