Trump Health Check at Walter Reed Sparks Fresh Questions Ahead of Beijing Summit

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump is scheduled to undergo a medical and dental examination at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Monday, May 26, as part of his annual preventive health evaluation, the White House said. The checkup comes as questions surrounding presidential age, fitness and medical transparency continue drawing national attention ahead of the 2026 political season. Trump, who turns 80 next month, remains the oldest person elected president in US history. Medical Exam Comes Before Beijing Summit The White House said the evaluation will take place roughly 10 days after Trump returns from a planned summit in Beijing with Chinese President Xi Jinping. Officials described the appointment as a routine annual physical and dental review. Trump has repeatedly said he feels healthy and energetic despite ongoing public discussion about aging presidents in Washington. Speaking during an Oval Office appearance on Monday, Trump said he feels “literally the same” as he did decades ago and joked about exercising “about one minute a day.” Previous Health Reports Drew Public Attention Trump’s last major physical examination was conducted in April 2025, when White House physician Navy Capt. Sean Barbabella stated the president was “fully fit” to serve as commander in chief. The report also noted Trump had lost nearly 20 pounds compared to his 2020 medical evaluation. Later in 2025, White House officials disclosed that Trump underwent testing for mild swelling in his lower legs. Doctors diagnosed chronic venous insufficiency, a common condition affecting blood flow in older adults. Press secretary Karoline Leavitt also addressed visible bruising seen on Trump’s hands, saying it was linked to frequent handshaking and aspirin use. Trump reportedly takes aspirin to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke. The president also received a flu shot and COVID-19 booster during a previous medical visit that included preventive heart and abdominal screening tests, according to White House officials.
