President Donald Trump meets with 16-year-old lifeguard Ryder Williams at the White House on Monday to recognize his bravery after Williams helped rescue a child in California surf.
According to multiple outlets, Williams is credited with saving a 10-year-old boy from drowning last month while he was in rough waters off the California coast. CBS News reports Trump praises the rescue, calling it “incredible,” while The Hill notes Trump’s comments and describes plans to honor Williams with a “High Civilian Honor,” potentially including the boy he saved.
ABC News similarly reports the meeting will include Williams and his recognition, while the Washington Times also highlights Trump’s praise for the rescue. The Punch, covering the event with a video reference, describes Trump hosting the teen for the same incident, emphasizing the rescue of the 10-year-old boy from rough waves. All accounts focus on the meeting and the recognition tied to the California rescue in late July.
