Donald Trump abruptly ended his speech due to a medical emergency
President Donald Trump was forced to cut his speech
short during a White House press conference due to a medical emergency.
At the time, Trump was swearing in TV personality,
Dr. Memhet Oz, who will serve as the administrator
for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services
(CMS) during Trump’s presidency.
The reason Press Secretary Karoline
Leavitt terminated the briefing and asked the reporters
to vacate the room was because
a girl collapsed during the ceremony, the Irish Star reported.
The White House later confirmed that a
“minor family member” fainted during the ceremony, adding they were now fine.
The statement read,
“A minor family member fainted during
Dr Oz’s swearing in ceremony in the Oval Office.
We are happy to say she is OK.”
