World News: US President Donald Trump, who is 79 years old, has some age-related health issues, the White House confirmed on Thursday. He has swelling in his lower legs and a bruise on his right hand.
White House Gave an Official Statement
The White House said that Trump has a common vein problem, which is causing the swelling in his legs. His hand is slightly injured due to shaking hands with many people. People had started guessing about Trump’s health after some pictures showed swelling in his ankle and makeup on his hand. This led to rumors about a serious illness, but the White House has now cleared all confusion.
Doctor’s Report Shared with Public
White House spokesperson Caroline Leavitt read out a letter from Dr. Shawn Barbella, a Navy officer who is also Trump’s doctor. The letter said that Trump went through several tests. An ultrasound showed that Trump has chronic venous insufficiency, a common condition in older people. The doctor confirmed that there are no signs of heart problems, kidney issues, or any serious disease.
Trump Is Fine and Active
The White House said that Trump is not in pain and is able to do his regular work. The bruise on his right hand is not serious, and there is no sign of dangerous blood clots or blocked arteries. This announcement was made to stop all false news and online rumors about Trump’s health.
