President Trump and Melania greeted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and First Lady Sara Netanyahu at the White House Monday afternoon.
The executives couples have had a cozy relationship since Trump’s election. President Trump made Israel one of his first stops during his first international trip as president and stunned the world when he followed through on his promise to move the US Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.
Melania and Sara Netanyahu both wore light blue, incidentally a similar color to that of the Israeli flag. Both presidents were wearing light blue ties.
Symbolic? Who knows.

However, it was Melania’s heels that stole the show. Melania wore shiny light blue six-inch heels for the occasion. They certainly caught the eye of White House photographers:

During the short pool spray, where both first ladies were present, President Trump said the American relationship with Israel “has never been better.”
“We are very close on trade deals, we are very, very close on military and terrorism and all of the things that we have to work together on,” Trump stated. “The relationship has never been better.”
Netanyahu said Trump “will be remembered by our people throughout the ages,” for his decision to move the embassy to Jerusalem.
