Speaking to reporters at the White House<\/a> on Thursday, Trump said that because of the Iran war and \u201cother things,\u201d he wasn\u2019t sure whether he\u2019d be attending the nuptials of Donald Trump Jr. and Bettina Anderson.
Asked by NBC News whether he would be in attendance, the president said it \u201cis not good timing for me.\u201d
\u201cHe\u2019d like me to go,\u201d Trump said of his eldest son. \u201cBut it\u2019s going to be just a small, little private affair, and I\u2019m going to try and make it. I\u2019m in the midst \u2014 I said, you know, this is not good timing for me. I have a thing called Iran and other things. That\u2019s one I can\u2019t win on.\u201d
Trump added that either way, he would be attacked by the media.
\u201cIf I do attend, I get killed. If I don\u2019t attend, I get killed, by the fake news, of course,\u201d he said.
Still, the president wished the couple luck.
\u201cHe\u2019s got a very \u2014 a person who I\u2019ve known for a long time, and hopefully they are going to have a great marriage,\u201d Trump said.
The wedding is set to take place on Saturday in the Bahamas, Page Six reported<\/a>. Trump\u2019s weekend schedule, released by the White House after his remarks Thursday, indicated he will be in Bedminster, New Jersey, on Saturday.
A spokesperson for Donald Trump Jr. did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Anderson and the younger Trump announced their engagement during a White House holiday party in December, with Trump Jr. calling it a \u201cbig win\u201d as the president stood behind the couple.
Trump Jr. was married to Vanessa Trump for 13 years,<\/a> and the couple have five children together. He was previously engaged to Kimberly Guilfoyle, whom the president appointed as U.S. ambassador to Greece in 2025 after she parted ways with Trump Jr.
CORRECTION<\/strong> (May 22, 2026, 3:20 p.m. ET): A previous version of this article misstated how many children Donald Trump Jr. and his former wife, Vanessa Trump, have together. They have five kids, not two.
