US President Donald Trump has been diagnosed with a health problem called chronic venous insufficiency.
The White House doctors said this is a harmless and common condition, especially in people over 70 years old.
CNN explained that this happens when the valves in the veins don’t work properly, so blood doesn’t flow the right way and collects in the veins.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt shared the news on July 17. She was talking about recent photos that showed Trump’s ankles looking swollen and discolored. She said Trump’s test results were still normal.
