The White House on 4 April declared a press "lid", indicating that no public appearances or press access to US President Donald Trump were expected for the rest of the day. However, the White House denied these rumours with spokesperson Steven Cheung stating on X, “There has never been a President who has worked harder for the American people than President Trump. Later in October, the US President underwent an MRI, six months after he underwent a physical in April, before he departed for the Middle East. However, in December 2025, the White House released a statement regarding his MRI scan, CBS News reported. The White House said that he underwent "advanced imaging" of his abdomen and cardiovascular system for "preventative" reasons.
