WASHINGTON — United States President Donald Trump has been diagnosed with a common and benign vein condition after experiencing swelling in his lower legs, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Thursday, July 17, 2025.
Leavitt said ultrasound exams performed on Trump’s legs revealed chronic venous insufficiency, a condition commonly found in individuals over the age of 70.
She said additional tests showed “no signs of heart failure, renal impairment or systemic illness.”
Trump, 79, was recently photographed at the Fifa Club World Cup 2025 final in East Rutherford, New Jersey, where visible swelling around his ankles sparked public speculation about his health. / XINHUA
