Amalija Knavs, the mother of former first lady Melania Trump, has sadly passed away at the age of 78. Melania confirmed the news on her social media accounts, paying tribute to her mother as a strong woman who carried herself with grace and dignity. Former President Donald Trump also expressed his sadness, describing Amalija as an incredible woman who will be missed beyond words.
Originally from Slovenia, Amalija and her husband Viktor had been residing in the United States. They were frequently seen in Washington during Trump’s presidency and maintained a close relationship with the Trump family. In fact, they often accompanied them on trips to Mar-a-Lago and Bedminster, New Jersey.
In 2018, the Knavs made headlines when they became US citizens. Their citizenship was obtained through their adult daughter’s sponsorship, a visa category that the Trump administration had sought to end. This news sparked controversy and debates on immigration policies.
Amalija’s passing comes at a time when Melania Trump has largely stayed out of the public eye since leaving the White House earlier this year. Her absence from the media spotlight has raised various speculations and rumors about her future plans.
As a devoted mother and grandmother, Amalija’s loss is undoubtedly deeply felt by the Trump family. Details surrounding her passing have not been disclosed, and the family is requesting privacy during this difficult time.
This news story will be updated as more information becomes available, allowing readers to stay informed about this unfortunate event and support the Trump family during their time of grief.
