US President Donald Trump is in “exceptional health”, his doctor said after he underwent a check-up that included lab tests and preventive health assessments at Walter Reed National Military Medical Centre.

Mr Trump spent roughly three hours at the hospital in Bethesda, Maryland, for what his doctor, Navy Captain Sean Barbabella, called a “scheduled follow-up evaluation” that was a “part of his ongoing health maintenance plan”.
