First lady Melania Trump and Usha Vance, the second lady, arrived Wednesday in North Carolina for a visit with military personnel at Camp Lejeune, the largest Marine Corps base on the East Coast.

The wives of President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance, a former Marine, were also set to visit personnel at Marine Corps Air Station New River, which is in the same area.

They planned to make joint appearances with military-connected students and to both address a gathering of service members and their families.
