U.S. President Donald Trump is set to undergo his annual physical examination on May 26 at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, announced the White House on Monday.

At 79, President Trump's health continues to be a topic of public interest. Since taking office in January 2025, he has maintained a rigorous schedule, often spending weekends golfing at his Florida and Virginia clubs. In October, during a visit to Walter Reed, Trump underwent a CT scan to rule out cardiovascular issues, and reported no abnormalities.

Recent photographs showing discoloration on his hands have fueled further health-related queries. During his hospital visit, Trump is expected to meet with service members and staff at the military facility.
