'There is no greater opportunity than that of helping children reach their fullest potential as they grow up,' Melania Trump stated.
First lady Melania Trump on Monday announced new Be Best ambassadors to help"improve the lives of children," at the same time as the Trump administration continues to receive heavy criticism for the conditions that migrant children face in border detention facilities.
"I am thrilled that we have identified and partnered with so many organizations both inside and outside of government to help promote and expand the three pillars of BE BEST. As we move into the next phase of my initiative, I look forward to the work ahead," Trump said in a statement."There is no greater opportunity than that of helping children reach their fullest potential as they grow up.
Last week, the Trump administration argued in court that migrant children detained at the U.S.'s southern border with Mexico do not need soap, toothbrushes, towels and other basic hygiene products to be held in"safe and sanitary" conditions. The first lady has not spoken out against the argument.
