Donald Trump will make his first trip to the Grand Slam tennis tournament since 2015, where he will compete in the men’s singles final of the US Open on Sunday.
Trump, who won a second term in office in 2024, has not attended the New York City tournament since taking office in 2016.
Before his wife Melania and him made his first appearance in Flushing Meadows ten years ago, he had previously been there on several occasions.
The president was supposed to attend, according to a White House official, the BBC.
As he watched from a hospitality area in 2015, John McEnroe, an American six-time major champion, welcomed Trump.
Trump, 79, was born in Queens, New York City’s Grand Slam-winning neighborhood.
The men’s final, which starts at 14:00 BST on Sunday, will not feature any American players.
