President Donald Trump's health is facing fresh scrutiny after he appeared breathless, hoarse and unsteady at the G7 summit in France, just weeks after a White House medical report declared the 80‑year‑old president in 'excellent health'. His laboured delivery at a press conference and visible difficulty sitting down have reignited questions over how closely the official assessment matches what millions saw on screen.
For context, the latest questions over Trump's condition followed a string of awkward on-camera moments at this year's G7. On Tuesday, cameras caught the US president gripping Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's arm while trying to take his place for a group photograph, with Modi appearing to guide him up a single step that other leaders managed with ease. By Wednesday, the focus had shifted from balance to breathing.
