Donald Trump made headlines when he was booed at Arthur Ashe Stadium back in 2015, and now he's set to return to the stadium for the US Open men's final on Sunday, but broadcasters have been warned not to air any "disruptions" this time around.
In 2015, CNN reported that "Trump found himself the target of audible boos... as he entered the U.S. Open quarterfinals in New York." Now, Trump is heading back, but you aren't likely to see a repeat of the 2015 booing, at least not on television, according to the Guardian's reporting.
"US Open broadcasters have been asked not to show any negative crowd reactions to Donald Trump at Sunday’s men’s final," according to the outlet. "The president is expected to attend the match between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz in New York, with security at Flushing Meadows being heightened in preparation."
The Guardian further details an email sent to broadcasters, preemptively seeking to shut down the booing.
"An email sent to broadcasters by organisers reveals that the 79-year-old will be shown on screen during the singing of the national anthem ahead of the match," the outlet reports. "The message adds: 'We ask all broadcasters to refrain from showing any disruptions or reactions in response to the president’s attendance in any capacity.'"
