President Donald Trump says he will return to Tuscaloosa next month to give the commencement address to graduating students at the University of Alabama.

In a late-night post to his Truth Social platform, Trump said he has agreed to deliver two commencement addresses - one at West Point and the other here at the Capstone.

Trump has made a pair of appearances in the Druid City in the last decade, both to attend Alabama football games.

Although the Republican Party held a presidential debate on campus last year, Trump did not attend.

The University of Alabama has not yet confirmed Trump's announcement, but UA's graduation ceremonies are scheduled for the weekend of May 2-4.
