KAROLINE Leavitt posted numerous photos of her husband, Nicholas Riccio, in celebration of Father’s Day, highlighting personal glimpses from their time at the White House during the special occasion.
White House Press Secretary Leavitt, 27, shared an adorable photo of Riccio, 59, with the couple’s son, Niko, on her Instagram Story.
The father and son appeared to be onboard Air Force One as Riccio blew a kiss at Niko, who was born on July 10, 2024.
“The best dada in the world,” Leavitt wrote with a globe and blue heart emoji.
Another pic showed Riccio carrying Niko while they lit candles in a church.
“The rock of our little family,” Leavitt wrote. “Showing Niko the way.”
The rest of Leavitt’s story showed President Donald Trump arriving in Canada for the G7 summit in Alberta.
“We have arrived!” Leavitt wrote with the Canadian flag emoji.
WHITE HOUSE CELEBRATION
Leavitt also shared a quick pic with fellow Trump aides Margo Martin and Chamberlain Harris.
Martin’s Instagram Story gave an intimate look at how Trump’s team celebrated Father’s Day aboard Air Force One.
Martin shared the menu for June 15, which included a choice of “Bloody Mary Steak” or Garden Salad.
For dessert, a chocolate mousse was served along with a beverage of choice.
In another pic, it showed that Martin appeared to have chosen the garden salad for her meal.
The dessert was served in a glass cup with a golf ball and tee that read “Happy Father’s Day.”
DON THE MOVE
First on Trump’s visit is a meeting with Prime Minister Mark Carney, whom the president met last month at the White House.
“The G7 is nothing without U.S. leadership, and your personal leadership, the leadership of the United States,” Carney told Trump at the summit.
“We’ve established a strong relationship, and we’re set to discuss trade and a variety of other topics,” mentioned Trump, who referred to himself as having a preference for tariffs.
“I’ve always been a tariff person.”
In the discussion, Trump indicated that he might allow China to join global leaders and also mentioned Russian President Vladimir Putin, who was removed from the group in 2014 following the annexation of Ukraine and Crimea.
“Putin speaks to me, he doesn’t speak to anybody else,” Trump told reporters while standing next to Carney.
“He doesn’t want to talk, because he was very insulted when he got thrown out of the G8. As I would be, as you would be, as anybody would be. It was very insulting.”
Carney described his meeting with Trump as “fantastic” while speaking with reporters.
“We will have open, frank discussions over the course of two days,” the prime minister said in the first session with all seven leaders present.
“We might not agree on absolutely every issue. But where we will cooperate, we will make an enormous difference for citizens and for the world, and bring the next era of prosperity, I hope, to the benefit of those we serve.”
