[Asia Economy Reporter Kwon Jae-hee] Melania Trump, wife of former U.S. President Donald Trump, left the White House without handing over to the next First Lady, Jill Biden, sparking rumors.

On the 20th (local time), Ashley Biden (39), daughter of President Joe Biden, said in an interview with NBC that "Melania did not invite my mother or me to the White House for tea or to introduce the residence," adding, "It is regrettable that she did not follow the traditionally established practice."

She continued, "It will probably be the most unusual transfer of power in American history," but added, "Anyway, we don't care."

NBC reported that Jill Biden is well acquainted with White House customs, having served as Second Lady for eight years while President Biden was Vice President.

Ashley is the only biological child of the Biden presidential couple but has not appeared much in public.

Unlike Ivanka, daughter of former President Trump, she revealed plans to focus on social activities in Baltimore, Maryland, rather than working in the Biden administration.

In another interview, Ashley emphasized, "I will work to promote social justice and mental health, develop communities, and enhance vitality."

Regarding the incident where Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., she said, "It is shocking that such a thing happened in a sacred place where my father worked for over 30 years."

Addressing family scandals involving her half-brother Hunter, she explained, "My father, mother, and brother are not such people," and added, "Because ruthless things come out on social media, I do not use it."
