Melania Trump faced merciless mockery over her 'vampire movie' accent at a global summit that lasted just seven minutes. The reaction came on Tuesday in Washington, after the first lady opened the Fostering the Future Together Global Coalition summit at the US State Department and left almost as quickly as she arrived.
The White House-backed summit is Melania Trump's flagship international initiative, bringing together first spouses and senior representatives from 38 countries and 28 technology companies to discuss children's education, digital literacy and online safety, particularly around emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence. The first day took place on 24 March at the State Department, with a follow‑up roundtable at the White House scheduled for 25 March, which officials said the first lady would host personally.
