In March 2026, the United States' presidency of the United Nations will begin.

This time, the American government will be represented in the Security Council by US First Lady Melania Trump — this will happen for the first time in the history of the UN.

According to journalists, Donald Trump's wife will focus on education as a tool for fostering tolerance and promoting global peace in this international organization during her speech.

The session, titled "Children, Technology, and Education in Conflict," will be the first time a sitting US First Lady has chaired a meeting of the 15-member council and will kick off the first session of the final term of the United States presidency.
