Lara Trump hosts Egyptian artist Mohamed Ramadan in New York

In a notable development, Mohamed Ramadan, an Egyptian artist, has received a special invitation from the family of US President Donald Trump to visit their residence in New York City. During his visit, he met Lara Trump, the wife of Donald Trump's son Eric, and posted photos and videos of them together on his official social media accounts. Artist Mohamed Ramadan expressed his elation at the invitation he received from Lara Trump, the wife of US President Donald Trump's son, thanking her for her appreciation of the African continent and Arabic music. Ramadan posted a number of photos of himself with Lara Trump on his official Instagram account, commenting: 'I am delighted to have been invited by Mrs Lara Trump, who appreciates my continent, Africa. This also reflects her appreciation of Arab-African music." He went on to say, "Something great is on the horizon, God willing," hinting at a new project he's cooking up for the near future. Not only did Ramadan reveal details of the visit, he also hinted at a new artistic project he is working on with Lara Trump. He confirmed that a major surprise is coming in the next few days, although the nature of this surprise is yet to be revealed. Currently, Ramadan is filming his latest music video in the United States. His presence in New York's famous Times Square attracted a large crowd of admirers keen to take photos with the celebrity, which is testament to his fame among Arab and international audiences. Three months ago, Lara Trump, wife of Eric Trump (son of US President Donald Trump), made headlines after announcing the launch of her new television show on Fox News. She became the first member of a sitting president's family to host a television show. In 2024, her father-in-law Donald Trump nominated her for vice chair of the Republican National Committee, a position for which she was officially elected but then resigned in December of that year, according to People.
