"Melania Trump, Last Seen May 10, Won’t Attend G7 Or Singapore Summits" - Tim Stelloh and Monica Alba
First lady Melania Trump won’t join the president for the Group of Seven Summit in Canada this week or a planned North Korea meeting in Singapore on June 12. Mrs. Trump hasn’t made a public appearance since May 10 – found days before her embolization procedure for a “benign kidney condition.” Embolization procedures are used to block blood vessels to prevent bleeding, for example, or to block blood flow to tumors. They are often done on an outpatient basis that can require an overnight stay. Ketan Badani, MD, professor of urology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, vice chairman of urology and director of the comprehensive kidney cancer program for the Mount Sinai Health System, said last month that a longer hospital stay could indicate a bleed. “That’s why they are having embolization,” he said.
