Barron Trump is currently a student at New York University and has largely stayed out of the public eye since his father returned to political life. His limited appearances have often sparked curiosity, with his mother, Melania Trump, reportedly taking a protective approach to his privacy.
The Christmas dinner brought together several members of the Trump family for what appeared to be a formal yet warm celebration. Photos also showed Melania Trump seated with President Trump, Barron, and her father, Viktor Knavs.
