Billboards in Croatia with an image of Melania Trump — advertising an English-language school — have been pulled after threats from the first lady’s lawyers.
Sept. 20 (UPI) — Billboards around Croatia featuring an image of Melania Trump — advertising an English-language school — have been taken down after threats from the first lady’s lawyers.
The billboards advertised for the American Institute in Zagreb, and included the phrase, « Just imagine how far you can go with a little bit of English. »
Melania Trump was born in Slovenia.
An attorney for the first lady ultimately demanded the removal of the billboards, and the school complied. They were replaced with a reference to the original slogan: « Invest in your English and billboards. People love a good billboard. »
Trump’s hometown of Sevnica has cashed in on tie-ins to the first lady’s new prominence. The town saw a 30 percent increase in tourism last year.
Sevnica tours include views of her childhood home, a school she attended and the clothing factory where her mother worked. A local restaurant also has desserts named in her honor.
