Trump visited soldiers at Walter Reed — but not the 14 injured in the Iran war
The White House said Trump met with service members during his checkup, while CBS News reported he did not see the 14 injured troops.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump visited Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for a six-month checkup, meeting some service members but bypassing 14 troops injured in the Iran war recovering at the facility.
- These 14 service members are among 409 U.S. troops injured in the conflict against Iran; six were wounded during a March Iranian drone strike on an Army outpost in Kuwait.
- The White House stated Trump was "honored to meet with our amazing service members and medical staff," yet a spokesperson declined to explain why he did not meet the wounded Iran war veterans.
- Trump has previously faced scrutiny for past comments on wounded soldiers, including 2020 remarks calling injuries from an Iranian airstrike "not very serious" and involving "headaches."
- Sergeant Cory Hicks, wounded in the Kuwait drone strike, described the "heavy mental toll," while Trump has stated "we want to lose very few, we want very few to be injured.
