President Donald Trump is scheduled to attend UFC 327 this weekend in Miami.
Trump’s official schedule, released recently, confirmed his attendance at the event, which will take place April 11 at the Kaseya Center. Dana White, the CEO of UFC, initially said that Trump would be in attendance during a conversation with Kick streamer Adin Ross.
It’s the first appearance Trump will make at a major sporting event since the start of the war in Iran.
Trump’s approval ratings recently hit a new low, according to a poll released on April 1 by CNN/SSRS. He received his worst approval rating on the economy across both presidencies – 31%. His overall approval rating was 35%. The poll’s margin of error is plus or minus 3.2 percentage points.
Over the past few months, thousands of “No Kings” demonstrations – organized to protest Trump and his administration – have taken place across the country, with over 100 scheduled in Florida alone.
Will any flight restrictions be in effect?
A temporary flight restriction “for VIP movement” is in effect for Miami, according to the Federal Aviation Administration, beginning on April 11 at 10:30 p.m. UTC and ending on April 12 at 11:30 p.m. UTC.
Anyone driving near Miami International Airport and in downtown Miami, where the Kaseya Center is located, should prepare for road closures on surrounding streets and highways.
