Trump and Melania’s heated exchange on helicopter sparks media buzz

Tengrinews.kz – A video showing US President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump in a tense discussion aboard a helicopter has gone viral, sparking widespread speculation in the media.

The footage was filmed as the couple returned from the UN General Assembly in New York.

British tabloid Daily Mail described the moment as "awkward", noting Trump gestured with his finger at Melania as she shook her head in response. People reported the exchange as animated, pointing out that Melania gestured toward her husband before he interrupted her with a pointed finger.

The Economic Times suggested the quarrel may have been triggered by Melania "apparently forgetting to applaud his UN speech", while Mirror called it a "spat", highlighting Trump’s finger-pointing as Melania kept shaking her head.

Belarusian outlet Nexta also framed the moment as a marital dispute, noting that the couple’s facial expressions showed clear tension.

The clip ends with Trump and Melania leaving the helicopter and holding hands, which only fueled further debate over whether the exchange was a quarrel or simply a lively conversation.
