Summary
Freddy, the German World Cup fan who went viral during the tournament, is visiting the White House on Tuesday before flying home Thursday after an unexpected three-week U.S. stay.
Nick Adams said the visit includes a Capitol stop, a monuments tour and a steak lunch at the White House, with a West Wing tour also planned; a meeting with President Trump was still undecided.
The sendoff follows Freddy's rapid online rise as he documented small-town America, including a June post from Elmore, Ohio — population 1,600 — that drew 12 million views on X.
His trip had already turned him into a cross-country social media attraction, with stops including Oklahoma City, where he met country singer Ella Langley after receiving cowboy boots from her team.
