Overview
- Six U.S. soldiers from the Army Reserve’s 103rd Sustainment Command were returned to Dover after a drone strike at Port Shuabia, Kuwait, with the Pentagon releasing their names and ranks.
- President Trump attended the March 7 dignified transfer wearing a white 'USA' baseball cap and did not remove it as the flag-draped coffins passed.
- Fox & Friends initially aired footage from December 17, 2025 showing a hatless Trump at a different transfer, then delivered an on-air apology read by host Griff Jenkins.
- Fox said archival video was mistakenly pulled during sourcing and later used correct footage, while viewers noted some updated segments removed Trump from the frame.
- Reaction was swift: California Governor Gavin Newsom’s press office, former RNC chair Michael Steele, and Mary Trump condemned the president’s attire as disrespectful, even as Fox characterized the airing of the old clip as an honest error and critics alleged intent.
