Trump Ends Press Conference Amid Audience Medical Emergency

A White House press conference led by President Donald Trump was abruptly cut short after a young girl, identified as a minor family member of Dr. Mehmet Oz, collapsed during the event. The incident occurred shortly after Dr. Oz, a television personality, was sworn in as the new administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. As Trump was discussing Iran and healthcare policy, the collapse caused immediate concern among attendees and prompted officials, including Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, to swiftly direct members of the press to leave the room. Dr. Oz and other guests rushed to assist the girl, who was later reported by the White House to be fine. The event highlighted the high-profile nature of Dr. Oz's appointment, with Trump reiterating his commitment to maintaining Medicare and Medicaid funding. The conference was attended by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and focused on both the swearing-in and ongoing healthcare debates.
