NEW YORK (AP) — Melania Trump says she'll promote child welfare in Ghana, Malawi, Kenya and Egypt in October on her first extended solo international mission. The first lady detailed her plans Wednesday at a reception on the sidelines of the annual U.N. General Assembly. Mrs. Trump says she looks forward to spreading the message of her domestic child-welfare initiative throughout Africa. She's traveling without President Donald Trump, who raised ire across Africa this year after his private complaint about the continent's "s-hole countries" was leaked to journalists. The first lady's only other solo international foray was a September 2017 day trip to Toronto to join Britain's Prince Harry for an event.
