President Donald Trump has been accused of skipping the dignified transfer of four American soldiers who died during a training exercise in Lithuania.
NBC News reported that Trump would not be present for the transfer at Delaware's Dover Air Force base on Friday because he is attending a dinner reception in Florida.
The president departed the White House for his Doral resort in Florida on Thursday and dined with leaders of the LIV Golf tour later that evening.
It was not immediately clear whether Trump would attend the transfer at Dover Air Force base, but his public schedule for Friday only currently lists a dinner at his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach on Friday evening.
Newsweek has not confirmed the timing of the dignified transfer. The White House and Pentagon have been contacted for comment outside of normal business hours.

On social media, many users were critical of Trump reportedly not attending the dignified transfer.
Lawyer Tristen Snell wrote on X, formerly Twitter, that Trump "abandons fallen soldiers, goes golfing instead."
He added: "This evening Trump was supposed to meet the families of 4 fallen US soldiers as their coffins return from Lithuania where they were killed in an accident. He canceled. Instead he dined with Saudi golf execs and sponsors for a golf tournament at one of his resorts."
