Trump, criticized for skipping earlier visits, travels to cemetery 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Agence France-PressePresident Donald Trump, who was criticized last month for skipping a visit to a cemetery in France where US soldiers are buried, made an unscheduled visit Saturday to a military cemetery near Washington for a wreath-laying ceremony. His visit to nearby Arlington National Cemetery took place on a gray and rainy day — not unlike the conditions at the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery east of Paris, which Trump was set to visit in early November before canceling. He was also criticized for failing, upon his return from France, to visit Arlington to mark Veterans Day. In brief remarks to reporters, he said the government was working to expand Arlington, where more than 400,000 men and women are buried, by purchasing nearby land.
