MELANIA TRUMP SKIPS HEADSCARF IN SAUDI

Riyadh, May 20: Accompanying her husband on his first international trip, US First Lady Melania Trump on Saturday stepped off of Air Force One conservatively dressed in long sleeves and pants to conform to the strict dress code that Saudi Arabia enforces for its female citizens. But one thing was missing from her black and gold-belted ensemble: a head scarf.

Instead, Mrs Trump’s below-the-shoulder brown hair blew freely in the breeze at King Khalid International Airport in the capital city of Riyadh.

Mr Trump in 2015 had criticised then-first lady Michelle Obama for not wearing a headscarf during a visit to Saudi. — Agencies
