WASHINGTON (AP) — Amalija Knavs, the mother of former first lady Melania Trump, has died.
Trump announced the death late Tuesday without disclosing the cause.
“It is with deep sadness that I announce the passing of my beloved mother, Amalija,” Trump wrote on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. “Amalija Knavs was a strong woman who always carried herself with grace, warmth, and dignity. She was entirely devoted to her husband, daughters, grandson, and son-in-law. We will miss her beyond measure and continue to honor and love her legacy.”
Donald Trump said at a New Year’s Eve celebration at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, that his mother-in-law was “very ill” and his wife was with her at a hospital in Miami.
“It’s a tough one, very tough one,” he said of the situation.
