Khaberni - U.S. President Donald Trump abruptly stopped his speech while hosting a celebration for the Jewish Hanukkah holiday in the East Room of the White House on the evening of Tuesday, December 16th.
A circulating video on social media shows the president pointing towards the audience and urgently requesting medical assistance.
The video shows Trump asking someone in the audience: "Is everything okay there? Are you okay?" then he immediately called for a doctor adding: "Please call for a doctor over there, just in case, please go check on them."
The American president continued to monitor the situation until he was assured that the condition was stable, commenting: "Everything good? Okay, great person."
The details of the incident remain unclear, as no official information has been released regarding the medical condition that required Trump's direct intervention, nor was it clear whether a guest had suffered a sudden health issue or another situation necessitated medical assistance.
In another context, this event was part of the White House's annual tradition of celebrating Hanukkah, known as the Jewish Festival of Lights.
Prior to the event, major American Jewish groups had called for enhanced security measures at public events following a terrorist attack in Sydney, Australia, during a similar celebration at the same event.
