Trump Faces Mixed Reactions, Security Delays US Open Final

President Donald Trump attended the 2025 US Open men’s singles final between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, marking his first visit to the tournament in a decade. His arrival prompted heightened security measures that delayed the match’s start by nearly an hour, and his presence was met with a mix of boos and cheers from the crowd at Arthur Ashe Stadium. Trump attended as a guest of Rolex, despite recently imposing significant tariffs on Swiss goods, including watches, raising questions about the intersection of his political decisions and business interests. Organizers requested broadcasters to avoid showing negative reactions during the coverage, though boos and jeers were still audible. Trump’s attendance reflects his ongoing focus on attending major sports events during his presidency, rather than traditional political events. Despite the mixed reception, players like Alcaraz expressed that having the president in attendance was a privilege for the tournament.
