Melania Trump was scheduled to participate in a program Friday for the gathered leaders spouses but was unable to leave, as protesters clashed with the Police at different times.

Stephanie Grisham, the first lady’s communications director, told the press pool traveling with the first family. “The Hamburg police could not give us clearance to leave, she was prevented from participating in today’s spousal program, which she was looking forward to.”
