Zagreb, Croatia
Melania Trump not amused: An English-language school that used an image of Melania Trump on billboards in the Croatian capital has been forced to pull the ads after the first lady threatened legal action. The billboards showed the former model—who was born in neighboring Slovenia— delivering a speech in front of a U.S. flag, next to the slogan, “Just imagine how far you can go with a little bit of English.” Trump has hired a law firm to protect her image, which has been used on underwear, cakes, and tourism ads in Slovenia. “We are very sorry that the billboards were misunderstood as something intended to mock the U.S. first lady,” said Ivis Buric, spokeswoman for the American Institute language school. “It was meant to be something positive, to show her as a role model.”
