Iran-US war latest: Trump administration reportedly preparing for fresh round of military strikes

US President Donald Trump does not plan to attend the wedding celebration of his eldest son, Donald Trump Jr, because he has to stay in Washington for government business, he has revealed.

Trump Jr celebrating his marriage to Palm Beach socialite Bettina Anderson on a small island in the Bahamas, CNN reported.

Trump told reporters Donald Trump Jr. wanted his father to attend, but that it was going to be a “small private affair.”

Trump said then he would try to make the wedding but the timing was bad for him.

“I have a thing called Iran and other things,” Trump said.

“While I very much wanted to be with my son, Don Jr., and the newest member of the Trump Family, his soon to be wife, Bettina, circumstances pertaining to Government, and my love for the United States of America, do not allow me to do so,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.

“I feel it is important for me to remain in Washington, D.C., at the White House during this important period of time,” the post continued.
