Donald Trump is set to make an appearance at this weekend’s LIV Golf Miami tournament at Trump National Doral, solidifying his continued support for the Saudi-backed league. Reports suggest he may even tee it up in the Pro-Am event.
However, his decision comes under scrutiny as he opts to remain in Florida instead of attending the dignified transfer of four U.S. soldiers killed in a Lithuania training exercise. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth will represent the administration at Dover Air Force Base, honoring Sgt. Jose Duenez Jr., Sgt. Edvin Franco, Pfc. Dante Taitano, and Staff Sgt. Troy Knutson-Collins.
The timing of Trump’s golf appearance has sparked debate, especially after his earlier misstep in acknowledging the soldiers’ deaths. With LIV Golf teeing off in Miami, Trump’s presence ensures the event will be about more than just golf.
Jennifer Griffin tweeted: “President Trump will remain in Florida and will not travel to Dover AFB for the dignified transfer of 4 American soldiers who died during a training exercise in Lithuania. The LIV Golf tournament begins today. Trump just arrived at his golf club. Defense Secretary Hegseth will travel to Dover Air Force Base mid-morning to participate in the dignified transfer of four U.S. soldiers who died last week in Lithuania. The soldiers, who were all based with the Army’s 3rd Infantry Division at Fort Stewart, Georgia, have been identified as Sgt. Jose Duenez Jr., 25, of Joliet, Illinois; Sgt. Edvin F. Franco, 25, of Glendale, California; Pfc. Dante D. Taitano, 21, of Dededo, Guam; and Staff Sgt. Troy S. Knutson-Collins, 28, of Battle Creek, Michigan. Here is how the government of Lithuania honored the 4 American soldiers in Vilnius yesterday.”
