U.S. President Donald Trump is set to undergo another medical examination soon. The visit comes after months of public debate about his health and age.

Trump is scheduled for a new health check on May 26 at Walter Reed military hospital, according to the Associated Press and NBC Bay Area.

It will be his fourth publicly known medical visit since returning to the presidency.

The White House said the appointment is part of a routine annual checkup, as well as preventive care.

Donald Trump turns 80 next month and is the oldest person ever elected president of the United States.

Debate about his health

Donald Trump has long been under scrutiny because of his age and health.

He previously criticized Joe Biden over age-related concerns but has also faced growing attention himself.

According to the Associated Press, Trump underwent heart and stomach scans last year as part of preventive screening.

Earlier this year, his physician, Sean Barbabella, said Trump is fit to serve as president.

The doctor also stated that Trump has lost around nine kilograms since a health examination in 2020.

New information

Public interest increased after photos appeared to show swollen ankles and marks on Trump’s hands.

The White House later said that Trump has chronic venous insufficiency, a condition that affects blood circulation and is often seen in older adults.
