Donald Trump faces criticism after being accused of appearing to doze off during a recent meeting in the Oval Office. Video footage shows Trump with his eyes closed and in minimal movement during a formal health briefing.
The incident took place while Dorothy Fink, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Women’s Health, was presenting data on maternal mortality rate reductions. Despite the significant progress highlighted by Fink, attention shifted to Trump’s behavior.
Online users reacted, with one pointing out Trump’s apparent drowsiness and another expressing concern about his ability to fulfill his duties. The White House Rapid Response account defended Trump, claiming he was blinking, although the video does not clearly show this.
In a separate issue, Trump criticized the ceasefire between the US and Iran, describing it as fragile. Iran presented terms for ending the conflict and reopening the Strait of Hormuz, which Trump dismissed as unacceptable. Iranian officials defended their proposal as responsible and generous.
Iran’s proposal includes a call for an immediate halt to hostilities, referencing Israeli strikes on Iran-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon. The proposal also seeks an end to the US naval blockade of Iranian ports and guarantees against future attacks on Iranian territory.
