Melania Trump stuck in guest house due to anti-G20 protests

US First Lady Melania Trump was stuck inside her guest house in Hamburg on Friday because of anti-G20 protests, her spokeswoman said.

A programme of events in the northern German city involving Trump and other spouses of political leaders has had to be severely curtailed because of the demonstrations.

“The Hamburg police could not give us clearance to leave (the residence),” Trump’s spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham said.

Instead of a visit to a climate centre, the spouses will be treated to presentations by climate scientists at a Hamburg hotel.

The German news agency DPA reported that Trump, 47, was unable to join the others on a tour of Hamburg harbour earlier on Friday.
