President Trump And First Lady Melania Trump Host Women's History Month Event At The White House

WASHINGTON, DC - MARCH 12: U.S. President Donald Trump says "Our nation, uplifted our communities, highlighted new industries, and been the heart and soul of the American family. And they are the heart and soul. From Martha Washington to Betsy Ross, from Clara Barton to Amelia Earhart and Rosa Parks to Aretha Franklin, American women have propelled us to even greater heights. And now the Trump administration is working every single day to make America better, safer and more prosperous for women and men... They are really the inspiration. So, so powerful and so important and so beautiful that I've used the word beautiful. But I'm getting it usually at the end of your political commentary today. What is a beautiful woman? They say that's a termination of history, but somehow it has too much." as first lady Melania Trump listens during a Women's History Month event in the East Room of the White House on March 12, 2026 in Washington, DC. The United States has observed Women's History Month in March since 1987. (Footage by Alex Wong/Getty Images)
