Overview

• Press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the president will meet and deliver remarks to troops at Walter Reed before returning to the White House.
• It will be his second Walter Reed exam this year, after an April visit in which the physician reported "excellent health" and fitness for duty.
• The White House said Trump is considering travel to the Middle East shortly after the visit, with the president telling reporters he may go to Egypt this weekend.
• Officials disclosed in July that testing found chronic venous insufficiency, a common vein condition in older adults, and attributed hand bruising to minor soft-tissue irritation and aspirin use.
• Reporters continue to press for greater medical transparency, and the White House has not committed to making the physician available for questions.
