Trump to undergo annual medical exam ahead of 80th birthday

President Trump is scheduled to visit the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Tuesday for an annual medical exam ahead of his 80th birthday on June 14.

Trump's previous annual check-up was in April 2025.

Back in October 2025, he told the press he had an MRI scan. A memo written by Captain Sean Barbabella said that advanced imaging of the president's heart and abdomen had come back "perfectly normal".

The BBC's White House Reporter, Bernd Debusmann Jr., shared more insights on the annual exam.
