Washington: Melania Trump signaled she intends to mostly live in the White House when she returns to Washington as first lady next Monday, squelching speculation that she might split time between other residences.

When Donald Trump took office for the first time in 2017, his wife did not immediately join him at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, instead staying in New York until their then 11-year-old son Barron completed the school year.

"I will be in the White House," Melania Trump told the "Fox & Friends" program in an interview aired Monday. "And when I need to be in New York, I will be in New York. And when I need to be in Palm Beach, I will be in Palm Beach."

The Trumps are known to live at their lavish Manhattan apartment in Trump Tower as well as the Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida.

Melania Trump was notably absent from Donald Trump's side during much of the 2024 campaign, as well as during his New York trial in which he was convicted on 34 felony counts.
