US President Donald joked that he would have little difficulty qualifying as an astronaut during a White House event that honours NASA's Artemis II crew. The remarks came as Trump welcomed the astronauts following their recent lunar flyby mission, which marked a major milestone in the Artemis program.
During the event, Trump praised the crew's intelligence and bravery before turning the focus to himself. He said astronauts need to be smart and physically capable, then added that he would have 'no trouble' making it because he was in strong physical shape.
