Donald Trump Skips Dignified Transfer of Fallen U.S. Soldiers to Attend Luxury Dinners in Florida
The president left Washington on Thursday to attend an LIV Golf dinner in Miami and stayed overnight at Mar-a-Lago for a candlelight MAGA dinner on Friday _
After announcing a market-shaking tariff plan in his “Liberation Day” speech on Wednesday, April 2, President Donald Trump headed to Florida for a long weekend.
According to the White House’s official schedule, Trump left Washington at 2 p.m. on Thursday, April 3, en route to the Trump National Doral Miami golf course. He was photographed disembarking Marine One at the course's ninth hole before attending a dinner for the Saudi Arabia-funded LIV Golf tour, ahead of their tournament there this weekend.
Lithuania Response
Thousands of people have turned out to bid farewell to four American soldiers who died during a training exercise in the Baltic nation. Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda and other dignitaries were among those who stood in respect as hearses carrying the bodies of the four young Americans were taken to the airport before being flown to the United States for burial. The soldiers were part of the 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division, and were on a training exercise when they and their M88 Hercules went missing. The armored vehicle was pulled out of a peat bog at the training ground near the border with Belarus on Monday.

“I paid tribute to the four United States soldiers who lost their lives during training exercises in Lithuania,” Nausėda posted alongside a photo of him speaking with Ambassador McDonald. “Americans are our loyal allies and friends. Our nation today expresses its condolences, respect, and gratitude to the entire American people."
