FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. — President Donald Trump will be appearing at Fort Bragg next week.
WRAL News has learned Trump will visit the Fayetteville-based military installation on Tuesday, June 10. It's not known if his appearance will be open to the public.
Fort Bragg officially returned to its original name on March 7, though it is now named for a different Bragg — Private First Class Roland L. Bragg , who was awarded a Purple Star and a Silver Star for his heroic actions while serving in the Army during World War II.
The post was originally named for Braxton Bragg, a Confederate general. It was called Fort Bragg from 1922 to 2023, when the name was changed to Fort Liberty in 2023 as part of a push to strip Confederates from U.S. military installations.
