Melania Trump was unable to attend a tour of a German climate research center during the Group of 20 summit when protests prevented the U.S. first lady from leaving her residence in Hamburg.
Chancellor Angela Merkel’s husband Joachim Sauer, a professor of physical and theoretical chemistry, had planned to host other G-20 leaders’ spouses for a tour of the German Climate Computing Center on Friday. The plan fell apart when demonstrators disrupted the start of the summit and the German G-20 hosts said the visit was canceled.
