Melania Trump is noticeably absent from the G-20 summit photos: ‘Was she at the spa?’
Leaders from around the world have gathered in Osaka, Japan for the annual G-20 summit. But in a group photo of the leaders and their spouses, first lady Melania Trump is noticeably missing.
The photo, which was taken at Osaka Castle on Friday, features everyone from Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his wife Sophie Trudeau to South Korean President Moon Jae-in and first lady Kim Jung-sook. Now people are wondering where exactly President Donald Trump’s wife is, seeing that she wasn’t able to attend.

Is Melania at the G20 with Trump?
Or stayed home due to his latest sex scandal. Asking for a friend. @FLOTUS @realDonaldTrump #G20Summit— Product of the ‘60’s (@LynnLiberal) June 27, 2019
FLOTUS also missed out on a spouse’s trip to Kyoto's Tofukuji temple, which incited more people to question her whereabouts. One person even suggested that maybe she was behind the camera taking the photo.

and Melania nowhere...perhaps afraid were she to leave the US, she wouldn't be allowed back in??

Others raised concerns about the photo, which highlights the fact that a majority of the world leaders are men.
Sad pic really. It means the opposite sex is in the big room making the decisions...

Still, some quickly pointed out that the United States had some female representation since Ivanka Trump went on the trip alongside her husband, Jared Kushner. Still, many people have questions about Ivanka’s role there.
Today, we leave for Osaka, Japan for the 14th meeting of the G20.
I am looking forward to joining the U.S. delegation for this important meeting on international economic cooperation. 🇺🇸 🇯🇵 #G20— Ivanka Trump (@IvankaTrump) June 26, 2019
Today, @IvankaTrump believes she has better things to do, like leaving for Osaka, Japan for the G20. And @FLOTUS, well, she simply doesn't care.
