President Donald Trump took part in the US Open Men Final on Sunday, where he faced a boos from the crowd at the Arthur Ashe stadium. His visit was caused by improved security measures that delayed the beginning of the match by 30 minutes.
Trump, who was wearing a suit and a long red tie, emerged briefly from his apartment about 45 minutes before the match. He got a mixture of health and boos, although the stadium was mostly empty at the time. He appeared again in front of the national anthem and, in a greeting in greeting, attracted a louder boos after he grinned briefly on the crowd.
After the anthem, Trump pointed to a small group of supporters sitting nearby and watched the match from the balcony apartment. Mostly he stayed clapping even during the main points, because Spanish Carlos Alcaraz faced Italian Jannik Sinner.
The American Tennis Association (Usta) ordered broadcasts not to send the reactions of the crowd – positive or negative – to Trump’s presence.
Delay of Security
Thousands of fans have experienced long lines to go through the secret service points of the secret service, with many seats in the upper sections to remain empty for almost an hour. The secret service said that Trump’s protection “required comprehensive efforts” that could contribute to the delay. “We honestly thank every fans for their patience and understanding,” the agency added.
Corporate and political ties
Trump took part in the final as a guest Rolex, although he imposed 39% of the Swiss goods tariff, more than double the EU rate. The White House refused to comment on the optics of participating in the joint event.
Mixed reactions of fans and celebrities
While there were no big street protests, fans were largely avoided by the wearing of Trump’s “Make America Great Again”.
Trump was accompanied by higher White House officials, including the Karoline Leitt press secretary, the General Prosecutor of Pam Bondi and the Finance Minister Scott Bessnt. Celebrities included Pink, Bruce Springsteen and Rhimes.
Trump’s sports travel
Since returning to the White House in January, Trump’s home travel has been largely revolved around big sports events, including Super Bowl, Dayton 500, UFC fighting, NCAA Championships and FIFA Club Final World Cup.
