Philadelphia Eagles’ Saquon Barkley Spotted with Donald Trump Ahead of White House Visit
On Sunday, Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley was seen with former President Donald Trump at his golf course in New Jersey, just one day before the Eagles’ scheduled visit to the White House to celebrate their Super Bowl victory. A widely circulated photo showed Barkley seated next to Trump, with several "Make America Great Again" hats on the table in front of them.
Barkley flew back to Washington with Trump, a notable appearance that comes as tensions surrounding the team’s White House visit continue to build. Last week, Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts created buzz after hesitating to confirm whether he would join the team in the White House celebration. When asked about his plans during a red carpet event, Hurts paused and looked around without providing a clear answer.
The White House had previously confirmed that the Eagles received an invitation from President Trump, which the team accepted enthusiastically. This visit marks a stark contrast to 2018, when Trump rescinded an invitation after several players chose not to attend in response to Trump’s critiques of national anthem protests.
Team owner Jeffrey Lurie expressed that the upcoming visit is a "time-honored tradition" the team is excited about. Barkley, who recently attended the J.P. Morgan Tech 100 Summit along with Ivanka Trump and her family, shared his positive experiences from the event on social media.
While Barkley’s engagement with Trump has certainly drawn attention, Hurts appears to be taking a more cautious stance regarding his involvement in the White House visit, leaving fans eager for clarity as the date approaches. Fox News will continue to follow this developing story.
