Melania Trump is not planning to join her husband at this week's G7 summit in Quebec. Her spokeswoman said the first lady also does not expect to attend President Donald Trump's upcoming summit with North Korea's leader in Singapore. 

Melania Trump attended last year's G7 summit in Italy. Spouses of world leaders usually attend these events as they often have public appearances of their own scheduled. 

She hasn't been seen in public since before she underwent a procedure May 14 to treat a benign kidney condition. 

After several rumors about her whereabouts, Melania Trump tweeted that she's "feeling great" and "working hard on behalf of children and the American people."
