Protesters at the G-20 summit in Hamburg, Germany prevented First Lady Melania Trump from leaving her residence on Friday.
The first lady was unable to attend the first handshake between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin due to the violent protests occurring right outside of her residence, according to the Sun.
Trump's spokeswoman, Stephanie Grisham, said the incident was "unfortunate" and said that local police were unable to clear the area in time.
