WASHINGTON (WASHINGTON POST) – President Donald Trump made an unscheduled visit to Arlington National Cemetery on a rainy Saturday (Dec 15), following weeks of criticism for skipping ceremonial visits in the United States and abroad that other presidents have made and for his lack of meetings with US troops in combat zones.
The President spent 15 minutes at the storied Virginia cemetery, walking with two military officers dressed in camouflage and a tour guide, looking at the thousands of grave markers that had been decorated with holiday wreaths.
The visit was not on Mr Trump’s public schedule, which often signals a last-minute decision.
