(The Hill) – President Trump will undergo a medical exam on Friday during a visit to Walter Reed Medical Center, the White House said.

“On Friday morning, President Trump will visit Walter Reed Medical Center for a planned meeting and remarks with the troops,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement. “While there, President Trump will stop by for his routine yearly check up. He will then return to the White House.”

Leavitt said Trump was “considering going to the Middle East shortly thereafter.” The president had told reporters he was contemplating traveling to Egypt on Saturday or Sunday as he sought to close the deal on a peace agreement in Gaza.

While the White House said Friday’s visit was a “routine yearly check up,” it will be the second time Trump has had an exam at Walter Reed so far this year. He last underwent a routine exam in April, after which his physician said he was in “excellent health.”

Since then, Trump, who is 79, was revealed to have a vein condition that is common in people over the age of 70.

Leavitt said in July that testing found Trump has chronic venous insufficiency. The condition happens when an individual’s leg veins struggle to pump blood back to the heart, causing blood to pool, according to the Cleveland Clinic.

The press secretary also at the time said doctors attributed bruising on Trump’s hands to “minor soft tissue damage” that is common with frequent handshaking and regular aspirin use.
