President Trump attended a high-speed IndyCar race staged through the streets of Washington, taking a ceremonial lap of the track before the competition got under way.
The appearance came ahead of the race, which formed part of a wider programme of events held over the summer to mark the country’s 250th birthday.
The street race brought IndyCar competition into the capital, with the president’s pre-race lap serving as a ceremonial moment before the main event.
The race was described as the culmination of the summer commemorations. No further details were provided about the race result, the wider schedule of events or any remarks made by the president.
