Melania Trump will lead a presidential delegation — including Las Vegas entertainer Wayne Newton and former pro golfer Nancy Lopez — to this year’s Invictus Games in Canada.

The annual event, founded by Britain’s Prince Harry, features wounded service members taking part in various sporting competitions.

{mosads}Newton, 75, known as “Mr. Las Vegas,” has been a longtime supporter of President Trump.

“In just two short years, the Invictus Games have allowed thousands of injured and wounded servicemen and women from many different countries to participate in adaptive sports competitions — something that should be lauded and supported worldwide,” Melania Trump said in a statement in July, when the White House first announced she’d be leading the delegation.

The group — which also includes Veterans Affairs Secretary David Shulkin and deputy secretary of State John Sullivan, among others — will head to Toronto for the weeklong event on Saturday.
