WASHINGTON, DC: Melania Trump has reportedly refused to participate in the customary White House meeting with First Lady Jill Biden on Wednesday, November 13, according to sources familiar with her schedule.

The decision highlights Melania's desire to challenge convention as she gets ready to assume the prominent position of first lady once again, a role that comes without a guidebook but garners global attention.

Melania Trump 'ain't going' for customary meeting with Jill Biden

Sources mentioned a previous scheduling conflict for Melania Trump due to her recently published memoir. However, a source said that the decision is yet to be finalized.

Last week, Jill Biden extended the traditional invitation to Melania, mirroring her husband's gesture of inviting the president-elect to the Oval Office.

It is customary for the first lady to host her successor for tea at the White House.

This act symbolizes the peaceful transition of power to the nation and the world, serving as an implicit criticism of Donald Trump, who in 2020, denied Joe Biden the same courtesy as he challenged the election results, CNN reports.

According to the White House, their meeting is scheduled for Wednesday at 11 am.

“She ain’t going,” another source acquainted with Melania's decision informed The New York Post. “Jill Biden’s husband authorized the FBI snooping through her underwear drawer. The Bidens are disgusting,” the source said, referencing the Biden administration’s raids on Mar-a-Lago as part of the investigation into classified documents.

“Jill Biden isn’t someone Melania needs to meet,” the source added.
