The US capital hosted its inaugural Grand Prix race, with over 100,000 spectators in attendance. According to The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald, many were racing fans, while some said they were there to support President Donald Trump.

President Trump gave the starting signal for the Indycar race, which took place on the streets of Washington. El Pais reported that the event was a departure from the President's usual concerns, including tensions with Iran, a trade war with Canada, and instability in public debt markets.

The event was part of the 250th anniversary celebrations of the United States.
