Donald Trump has sparked health concerns among social media users as he gave a press conference today. The US President appeared alongside his Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr, after he announced that he wants to cut prescription drug prices by 59%. But, aside from policy, Trump's physical appearance sparked a reaction online. @Captain_Publius wrote on X: "Trump looks especially orange this morning. He is not well."
Jonathan Slater said: "Trump is super orange today." Meanwhile, Christian Anderson noted: "Trump is on CNBC and looks like a pumpkin. So orange." @BeanzGotGamez added: "Lmao, no you don’t have to adjust your televisions, Donald Trump is extremely orange today." President Trump said on Sunday that he would sign an executive order to enact "most favoured nation" pricing, also known as international reference pricing. Shares of US drugmakers fell between 2% and 3% following the comments.

Reuters reports that the US pays the highest prices for prescription drugs, often nearly three times more than other developed nations.
Flight restrictions around RAF Mildenhall in Suffolk indicate the US president’s Air Force One jet will land there late on Monday or early on Tuesday on its way to an official visit to the Middle East.

Trump sparked fury yesterday as it was reported that he is ready to accept a new £300million jet gifted by Qatar's royal family that is described as a "palace in the sky".
Critics have claimed it signals bribery and corruption.
Sources familiar with the matter say that the handover is expected to be announced this week as the President visits Qatar.
This is to be his first foreign trip since he was re-elected in November.
Representative Jamie Raskin, a Maryland Democrat and former constitutional law professor, said on X: "Trump must seek Congress' consent to take this $300million gift from Qatar.
"The Constitution is perfectly clear: no present 'of any kind whatever' from a foreign state without Congressional permission."
