Why in the world is Melania Trump leading a UN security council meeting? | Arwa Mahdawi

The article discusses Melania Trump's unexpected leadership of a United Nations Security Council meeting, which the author finds puzzling. It highlights the Trump administration's stance against diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, with the president boasting about "ending DEI in America" during his State of the Union address. The article suggests that the Trump family's influence and the administration's "war on woke" have led to a retreat from DEI policies in many organizations, despite their previous public support. The author, Arwa Mahdawi, is a columnist for The Guardian and expresses skepticism about Melania Trump's qualifications for such a high-profile role at the UN.
