Donald Trump's swollen ankles were again visible 'bursting' over his shoes in Washington on Tuesday, as the 79-year-old US president hosted King Charles III and Queen Camilla in the Oval Office during the second day of their state visit.
The news came after months of scrutiny of Trump's lower legs, which first drew widespread attention in July when photographs from the FIFA Club World Cup showed his ankles markedly enlarged above his shoes. Those pictures prompted questions about whether the president was struggling with an underlying medical problem, questions that have not entirely gone away despite repeated assurances from the White House that his health is sound.
