Trump Says Raspy Voice Came From Shouting in Trade Dispute

He framed the hoarseness as fallout from a dispute over an attempted trade deal renegotiation.

Overview

  • During an Oval Office session on 2026 FIFA World Cup planning, reporters noted his rough voice and asked about his health.
  • Trump said he "blew my stack" at counterparts after a country sought to change terms of its trade deal, declining to name the nation.
  • He said he felt "great" and rejected illness concerns, and a recent White House physician memo described him as in exceptional health.
  • The explanation comes as the administration pursues talks with multiple countries and recently carved out exemptions for a range of agricultural imports.
  • His tariff approach faces legal uncertainty with a forthcoming Supreme Court decision on his use of emergency powers to levy fees.
