President Donald Trump attended a Medal of Honour ceremony in the White House East Room on 2 March 2026, where he presented awards to three US Army service members. The event was held to recognise the service and sacrifice of military personnel, including actions taken during past conflicts.
During the public appearance, observers noted a visible area of skin irritation on the right side of the president's neck. Photographs taken during the ceremony, which were published by various media organisations, showed redness extending above the president's shirt collar.
