US President Donald Trump went to the finals of the US Open Tennis Tournament and was booed by the spectators who were delayed by security search.

According to the New York Times (NYT) on the 7th (local time), President Trump visited the Arthur Ash Stadium in New York to see the US Open Men’s Singles Finals scheduled for 2 pm.

But the game did not start on time. This is because the US secret guards have continued to delay the position of the general visitors as the US secret guards installed metal detectors and checked their bags for the president’s safety.

The organizer said that the final match between Jannik Shiner and Carlos Alcaras, the world’s No. 1 and second place, will start 30 minutes later than scheduled, and then 15 minutes more delay.

The economy eventually started around 2:48 pm, with thousands of ticket buyers yet. Visitors had to wait for at least 30 minutes for their position, and in some cases waited for an hour and a half, they could not enter the stadium.

Inside and outside the stadium, there was also a boo that criticized the delay of entry due to the emergence of President Trump. Those who came to see the finals spent as little as hundreds of thousands of won and more than $ 20,000, Reuters said.

The US Tennis Association (USSTA) has been told that broadcasters have asked broadcasters to delete all the reactions, including booing and cheering for President Trump from the stadium. ABC broadcasted the scenes of President Trump’s greetings to the crowd, and the sound from the stand was silent.

President Trump succeeded in re -election and returned to the White House in January, and attended several sports events.
