US President Donald Trump said that he expects to wear a mask when he next visits US troops at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.

“I expect to be wearing a mask when I go into Walter Reed. You’re in a hospital setting. I think it’s a very appropriate thing. I have no problem with a mask,” Trump told Fox News in an interview.

He said he would be visiting wounded soldiers as well as front-line workers seeking to contain the coronavirus pandemic when he visits the government medical facility in Bethesda, Maryland.
