Melania Trump arrives in Ghana for solo Africa trip

US First Lady Melania Trump has visited a hospital in Ghana’s capital, Accra, at the start of her solo trip that will see her visit four African countries.

Earlier at the airport, she was welcomed by dancers and drummers but the public reaction has been low key.

The tour, which also takes in Kenya, Malawi and Egypt, will focus on promoting health and education.

In February, a row broke out after President Donald Trump allegedly used "shithole" to describe African nations.
Mrs Trump’s week-long trip to the continent is seen as helping to heal some of the divisions.
