Washington: US President Donald Trump dismissed social media rumors that have swirled for days about his health as "fake news" as he held a press conference at the White House on Tuesday.

"I didn't see that," the 79-year-old Republican said when a reporter told him of the widespread speculation on social networks including X that he was in poor health, with some users even suggesting he had died, after several days in which he did not appear before the media. "That's fake news," he added.
