Melania Trump's message amid the protests in Minnesota: “We need to come together”

The First Lady of the United States, Melania Trump, called for national unity and for the protests to take place peacefully amid the demonstrations that continue in Minneapolis, Minnesota, following a fatal shooting that occurred during immigration operations.

In a television interview, Melania Trump emphasized the importance of avoiding violence and asked those participating in protests to "unite" and express themselves peacefully. She assured that her husband, the President of the United States, has had conversations with local authorities, including the governor of Minnesota and the mayor of Minneapolis, with the aim that the situation proceeds without disturbances.

The First Lady reiterated her stance against any form of violence and encouraged citizens to demonstrate in an orderly manner, emphasizing that "we need to unite" in these difficult times.

His call comes in a context of growing social tension due to the protests in the city, which have generated a broad national debate on the response of federal forces and immigration policies, while the authorities work to contain the disturbances and promote dialogue between the parties involved.
