President Donald Trump drew attention to White House aide Natalie Harp during a rally in Wasilla, Alaska, on Tuesday, 13 October, when he called for pardon documents and she hurried onstage to deliver them. Trump announced unconditional pardons for two men convicted of violating the Clean Air Act, while the brief exchange prompted some social media users to describe their interaction as awkward.
The rally took place at the Curtis D. Menard Memorial Sports Center, where Trump was promoting Republican gubernatorial campaigns. He used the appearance to criticise the Joe Biden administration's environmental enforcement policies, presenting the cases of the two men as examples of what he considered unfair treatment.
