Police in Slovenia are investigating the disappearance of a bronze statue of US first lady Melania Trump that was sawn off and carried away from her home town.

The life-size sculpture was unveiled in 2020 during US President Donald Trump’s first term in office near Sevnica in central Slovenia, where Melanija Knavs was born in 1970.
