First Lady Melania Trump visited families affected by wildfires in Los Angeles and spoke in Serbo-Croatian.
While meeting survivors, she responded in Serbo-Croatian to a woman who greeted her, as the language is similar to her native Slovenian. The woman, who lost her home, said, “Good afternoon,” to which Melania replied, “How are you? Good afternoon.”
They shared a hug and a cheek kiss before discussing the woman’s journey to America and her losses in the fire. Melania offered words of encouragement, showing empathy and support for those impacted by the disaster.
