President Trump to undergo medical exam at Walter Reed, White House says

WASHINGTON ‒ President Donald Trump is set to undergo a medical checkup at Walter Reed Medical Center on Friday, Oct. 10, in what will be the 79-year-old president's second exam at Walter Reed this year.

His visit to the doctor comes after Trump in July was diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency that has resulted in visible swelling in his lower legs near his ankles.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Trump will also take part in a "planned meeting" with troops at the facility and deliver remarks to them.

"While there, President Trump will stop by for his routine yearly checkup," Leavitt said in a statement, adding he might later in the day travel to the Middle East, where he is hoping to secure a peace deal between Israel and Hamas to end the war in Gaza.
