The Oval Office is no stranger to tense moments, but few expected a casual chat with a child to spark such a fierce online debate.

The moment unfolded during a White House ceremony celebrating the reinstatement of the Presidential Fitness Test Award. The programme aims to recognise students who meet physical fitness benchmarks such as push ups, running, and sit ups.
