May ​11 (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump ‌will have his annual physical on May 26 at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, the White House ‌announced ​on Monday.

At 79, ⁠Trump’s health remains a ⁠subject of public scrutiny. He has maintained a busy schedule since assuming office in January 2025 ​and frequently spends weekends golfing at his clubs in ⁠Florida and Virginia.

Trump ⁠said he underwent a CT ​scan during an October visit to ​Walter Reed to rule out ‌cardiovascular issues and said the test showed no abnormalities. He later said he regretted disclosing the ⁠scan because it prompted speculation about his health.

More recently, photographs showing bruising or ⁠discoloration on ‌his hands have raised ⁠additional questions.

The White House ​said ‌Trump will also use ​the visit ⁠to meet with service members and staff at the military hospital.
