Trump faces scrutiny over West Point address plans
Mr Trump is due to speak on 13 June at the academy, located about 50 miles (80 km) north of New York City.
New York state is the epicentre of the US coronavirus outbreak.
The academy has said "the size and scope of the graduation ceremony will be determined by safety considerations" for all attendees.
Cadets have been attending classes virtually since they left campus for spring break on 6 March.
The president announced on 17 April he would be giving the West Point commencement address this year.
According to the New York Times, that came as a surprise to West Point event organisers, who had yet to finalise graduation ceremony plans amid the coronavirus pandemic.
In a weekend editorial, the New York Daily News cautioned "there's no reason to believe that New York State, nor the academy itself, is prepared to host a graduation ceremony amidst a pandemic".
In a statement, the academy said approximately 1,000 cadets would have to return to campus to pack their dorm rooms, graduate and "eventually move to Army Officer Basic Training".
Cadets would be coming back to campus starting in late May and would be subject to a "detailed Covid screening, testing, quarantine, and integration plan", it added.
The statement noted that this "graduation ceremony will look different from recent graduation ceremonies because of current social health force protection measures" and this would be likely to limit family participation.
Recently, the US Naval Academy in Maryland called off its own commencement and instead held a virtual graduation.
However, the Air Force Academy in Colorado allowed seniors to graduate last week, but required them to maintain strict social distancing. Vice-President Mike Pence spoke at that event.
The president has previously spoken at Coast Guard, Navy and Air Force academy graduations.
As of Sunday morning, there are 941,628 confirmed cases of the virus in the US and there have been 54,024 related deaths, according to Johns Hopkins University.

Tu quoque.
Strawman.
Argumentum ad populam.
Argumentum ad hominem.
And on, and on, and on.
Yet most blue states pay more than they get back....heck, California has the 5th largest economy in the world.
The top ten neediest are all red states run by CON-servatives.
Maybe it's the CON-servatives who have bam-booz-led the maker states?
If I were homeless and poor id go where the money and services are not some backwoods poverty stricken cess pool that CON-servatives run.
Poor Spilled forgot to mop up after himself like most CON-servatives do.
Oops....
Oh Avro - your facilityb with math and taxes is even more inept than I feared!
There is a huge difference between total tax paid and INDIVIDUAL TAX PAID! How sad this fact eludes you!
For instance and electrician working for govt generally pays more tax than an electrician in the private sector!
BUT- this is NOT TAX DISCRIMINATION as a math challenged LIE-beral like you would assume!
! ON THE CONTRARY!
Since the GOVT WORKER TYPICALLY makes about ONE THIRD MORE than an a private sector worker it is
ONLY NATURAL that the public sector worker PAYS MORE TAX!
Thus - IN RELATED LOGIC - the state with the larger population - such as California - WILL PAY MORE TAXES AS A GROUP!
Since the California group is MUCH LARGER than other state groups!
So you see - your attempt to use FAULTY math to DECEIVE has failed!
Better go back to your drawing board and see if you can come up with a BETTER TAX SCAM!
But..................Nice GIF of the poor waiter spilling the beer though!
So your post was not a total loss!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
T-bonesforbrains HAS A BOATLOAD of Herring - all with lovely Red scales - and he IS SHOCKED AND EMBARRASSED
to discover that others MIGHT have the temerity to be INVESTIGATING AND QUESTIONING WHAT HE CATCHES
IN HIS POOL!
As the teachers say: SHOW YOUR WORK!
NO HONEST PROOF EQUALS MORE AVRO wishful thinking and delusional bullsh+t!
You are dismissed!
You didn't and never do.
You just blather on and on about crap that has nothing to do with the subject.
Good luck with that.
