In his first press conference in a week, President Donald Trump dismissed rumors of his death circulating on social media. In a casual tone, Trump called the reports "fake news," while emphasizing that he was actively engaging through interviews, social media posts, and visits to his golf club in Virginia.
The White House Press Office added that he was in good physical condition despite suffering from chronic venous insufficiency, a common condition associated with aging, with no serious complications.
Furthermore, Trump announced that the headquarters of U.S. Space Command would be moved from Colorado Springs to Huntsville, Alabama, often nicknamed "Rocket City." He called the move an economic and defense victory, despite earlier criticism that the move would delay the military's operational readiness.
Furthermore, Trump also confirmed that the U.S. military had conducted a precision strike on a Venezuelan drug trafficking vessel in the Caribbean. This strike is part of his administration's ongoing efforts to dismantle transnational drug networks. The vessel was claimed to be operated by a narco-terrorist group, an allegation that has not been fully clarified regarding the victims or the type of illicit goods seized.
