In this March 8, 2017, photo, first lady Melania Trump arrives in the State Dining room of the White House in Washington, where she hosted a luncheon on International Women's Day. Being first lady of the United States likely was not a life goal that Melania Trump considered while growing up in her native Slovenia. But after weeks out of the public eye following Donald Trump’s swearing-in as president, she has begun to embrace her new, more public role. () (AP Photo/Pablo Martinez Monsivais)

In this photo taken Monday, May 2, 2016, an enormous statue of Mao Zedong looms over the No. 1 Tractor Factory in Luoyang in central China's Henan province. Fifty years after Mao unleashed the decade-long Cultural Revolution to reassert his authority and revive his radical communist agenda, the spirit of modern China's founder still exerts a powerful pull. Millions of people were persecuted, publicly humiliated, beaten or killed during the upheaval, as zealous factionalism metastasized countrywide, tearing apart Chinese society at a most basic level.

In this Feb. 19, 2017, file photo, people carry posters during a rally against President Donald Trump's executive order banning travel from seven Muslim-majority nations, in New York's Times Square. Trump’s travel ban has been frozen by the courts, but the White House has promised a new executive order that officials say will address concerns raised by judges that have put the policy on hold. The first order was met by legal challenges, confusion at airports worldwide and mass protests, but the White House has forecast smoother sailing the second time around. () (AP Photo/Andres Kudacki)
