Trump’s US Open appearance draws cheers, boos and delays
President Donald Trump’s U.S. Open appearance caused delays and mixed crowd reactions during the men’s final.
President Trump is expected to attend a Detroit Tigers and New York Yankees game on the anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attack on New York City, the White House confirmed.
The North Jersey Record first reported Tuesday, Sept. 9, that Trump will travel to the Yankee Stadium in the Bronx as the teams wrap up a three-game series.
Additionally, the Federal Aviation Administration issued temporary flight restrictions for Sept 10-11 at LaGuardia Airport on Long Island because of VIP movement, according to the federal agency’s website.
Earlier this week Trump attended a men’s final match of the U.S. Open between No. 1 Jannik Sinner and No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz in Flushing Meadows.
Trump, a sports fan, became the first sitting president to attend the Super Bowl this year. He also attended the Daytona 500, LIV Golf in April and several UFC events.
