BarcelonaLast weekend, Donald Trump and his wife Melania were the guests of honor at the IndyCar race to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the United States' independence, in which the Vallesà Àlex Palou was competing to revalidate his champion title (he will have to wait for the next race). The event, which was held at the National Mall in Washington, has generated comments over an off-track issue: a video in which the President of the United States and the First Lady can be seen having a tense discussion. During the conversation, Melania can be seen with a serious face, speaking in her husband's ear.

After this tense moment, Natalie Harp, Trump's advisor who in recent weeks has been at the center of controversy for his close relationship with the president. In the video, Harp approaches the couple to bring the mobile phone to Trump. It is then that Melania gets up and leaves her husband's side. After a while, Trump returns the phone to Harp. After the last interaction between the president and the advisor, Melania decides to return to the box, but continues with a serious face and folded arms.

The proximity between Trump and Harp has been a topic of discussion in the media for days, especially after Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff, who is running for re-election as Senator for Georgia, made a comment that sparked the fury of the White House, which quickly came out to defend the advisor. "He [Trump] doesn't want to do the job [...]. He wants to build his ballroom and travel with Natalie in his flying palace, apparently defenseless, which the Emir of Qatar gifted him," Ossoff said.

The relationship between the two is so close that she was one of the few cabinet members evacuated with the President of the United States on Air Force One when he was returning from Turkey. The assistant flew with Trump on Air Force C-32, while other high-ranking members, such as Secretary of State Marco Rubio or Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, remained on board the aircraft threatened by Iran.
