President Donald Trump is facing criticism after choosing not to attend the dignified transfer of the seventh U.S. service member killed in the Iran conflict at Dover Air Force Base.
The fallen soldier, Army Sgt. Benjamin Pennington, died from injuries sustained during an Iranian attack on a U.S. base in Saudi Arabia earlier this month. The solemn ceremony returning his remains to the United States was attended by Vice President JD Vance, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and other senior military officials.
According to reports, Trump spent much of the day in Florida at his Doral golf club, where House Republicans were holding a policy retreat, and was traveling back to Washington around the time the transfer took place.
The absence has sparked debate online and in political circles, as the dignified transfer ceremony is traditionally considered one of the most solemn duties for a U.S. president, honoring service members who died in combat.
Trump had previously attended the ceremony for the first six U.S. troops killed in the conflict, making his absence from this latest transfer a point of public discussion.
