Donald Trump, who first became the president of the United States in 2016, has not made any official appearance at the US Open. He is currently serving as the 47th President of the nation and will be the highlight reel in Sunday’s final, where Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz go head-to-head.
US President Donald Trump is all set to make his first appearance at the US Open in a decade as he will be in attendance for the men’s singles final between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner on Sunday (Sep 7). Trump, who was last in attendance at the US Open in 2015, will be making his first appearance at the US Open as the President of the United States. However, there is twist in the appearance as broadcasters have been given strict orders to refrain from showcasing any disruptions to US President in any capacity.
