Melania Trump, the wife of former president and Republican candidate for the upcoming US elections, Donald Trump, said today in a video on the social platform "X" that "there is no room for compromise" regarding women's right to "individual freedom", reported Reuters, quoted by BTA.
The agency notes that Melania's position on women's abortion rights is clearly at odds with her husband's.
Her comments come as Trump and his running mate, U.S. Sen. J.D. Vance, have sought to soften the GOP's hardline stance on abortion rights, a major obstacle to winning more women voters ahead of the election. on November 5.
"Individual freedom is a fundamental principle that I defend,", Melania said in a video circulating online promoting her memoir, which is due out next week, adding: "There is no doubt that there is no room for compromise when it comes to that basic right that all women possess from their birth - individual freedom. What does "my body, my choice?"
really mean
Melania, a former model who served as first lady of the US during Trump's 2017-2021 tenure and until now has almost always been absent from his campaign events, has at other times offered cryptic statements to the American public . In 2018, during a trip to the US border, she wore a jacket with the words "I really don't care, do you?", which was left unexplained.
But in an excerpt from the memoir, published yesterday on Britain's Guardian website, she became more clear about her position on women's abortion rights. "A woman's basic right to individual freedom, to her own life, gives her the right to terminate her pregnancy if she wishes," Melania wrote.
The Trump campaign has not yet responded to Reuters' request for comment on the video.
