NEW YORK, United States (AFP)—United States (US) President Donald Trump was booed ahead of the NBA Finals matchup at Madison Square Garden on Monday, as his attendance prompted ultra-tight security at the storied New York venue.
Fans jeered the Republican president, who was watching the game from an executive suite, when he appeared onscreen inside the arena during the singing of the national anthem.
Security measures have been hiked for the visit, with authorities barring fans without tickets from coming within several blocks of Madison Square Garden.
