President Donald Trump faced accusations of dozing off during a cabinet meeting on Tuesday, December 2, after footage showed him with his eyes closed.
Video of the meeting, streamed in full by the White House, shows the 79-year-old closing his eyes as Marco Rubio praises his foreign policy efforts.
Major US outlets, including CNN, The Washington Post and The New York Times, reported that Trump appeared to nod off.
The New York Times cited a statement from Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, in which she said Trump was “listening attentively and running the entire” meeting. Credit: The White House via Storyful
