(2 Oct 2018) Melania Trump arrived in Ghana on Tuesday to open her first major solo international trip as US first lady. She landed in the Ghanaian capital of Accra early Tuesday after an overnight flight from Washington. She was welcomed to the West African nation with dancing and drumming and schoolchildren waving mini US and Ghanaian flags. Ghana's first lady, Rebecca Akufo-Addo, welcomed her American counterpart and the pair walked along a red carpet into an airport lounge for a brief meeting. The US first lady was set to visit a hospital neonatal intensive care unit before going to the presidential palace for tea with Akufo-Addo. President Donald Trump's wife plans to promote child welfare during the five-day, four-nation tour. She'll also visit Malawi, Kenya and Egypt.
