Trump visited soldiers at Walter Reed — but not the 14 injured in the Iran war
President Trump visited Walter Reed National Military Medical Center to meet with service members but did not see the 14 troops injured in the Iran war. The White House confirmed his visit but did not clarify why he did not meet the injured soldiers. This decision has drawn attention, especially given the customary practice for presidents to visit wounded troops.
