Owens died on battle on Sunday during an operation against terrorism in Yemen. He was a member of the United States military for almost 20 years.
Trump confirmed his trip to see Owens’ remains on Thursday morning in a message from his Twitter account.
“Attending Chief Ryan Owens’ Dignified Transfer yesterday with my daughter Ivanka was my great honor. To a great and brave man – thank you!” Trump wrote.
