President Donald Trump has departed for China, where he faces a high-stakes meeting with Xi Jinping amid the Iran war.
While she joined him during his 2017 trip, First Lady Melania Trump isn't traveling with the President this time.
But the Melania documentary director, Brett Ratner, is on the trip and will be scouting Rush Hour 4 filming locations while on the ground.
The President also brought along his son Eric Trump and his wife, Lara, who accidentally entered through the wrong doors of Marine One and were ushered back onto the South Lawn alongside Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Tuesday afternoon.
Rubio let the Trumps enter the presidential helicopter first, before boarding himself.
On Air Force One, Rubio was joined by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer.
Trump is also bringing along some key aides, including Stephen Miller, Communications Director Steven Cheung, James Blair - who's now working outside the White House to help Republicans win the midterms - and Walt Nauta.
Principal deputy White House press secretary Anna Kelly is staffing the trip due to White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt being out on maternity leave.

Natalie Harp, nicknamed the 'human printer,' for always traveling with a portable printer, is also on the trip.
The White House also invited a business delegation to China, which includes the former leader of the Department of Government Efficiency, Elon Musk.
It's been nearly a year since Trump and Musk had their dramatic feud, but Musk now appears to be fully back in the President's good graces.
The Tesla and SpaceX head will be joined by Apple's Tim Cook, Boeing's Kelly Ortberg, Meta's Dina Powell McCormick - who worked in the first Trump administration and is married to GOP Pennsylvania Senator Dave McCormick - BlackRock's Larry Fink, Blackstone's Stephen Schwarzman, and more, a White House official told the Daily Mail.
Trump delayed the trip - originally scheduled for late March - by citing the active conflict in Iran.
On a press call Sunday, a senior US official explained that Trump didn't delay his meeting with Xi further by essentially arguing that the President can walk and chew gum at the same time.
'Why would he not continue with all the other duties that he has as a US President?' the official mused. 'I don't think he has the luxury to focus on just one sort of soda straw issue.'
The official noted how the Iran war has gone on for 'weeks and weeks on end.'

'I think, clearly, six weeks ago, we were in a bit more of an active situation in Iran, and the President made the decision to push it back. But I think, as of right now, obviously, we're a go on the trip,' the source said.
Trump took one trip to China during his first term, in November 2017, less than a year after he was sworn in.
While President Joe Biden took several trips to Asia, he never visited China during his single term.
Instead, he met with Xi on the sidelines of several international conferences.
