WASHINGTON: US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Wednesday brushed off suggestions that President Donald Trump was regularly dozing off during Cabinet meetings, as questions persist over the health of the oldest US president ever inaugurated.

Testifying during a congressional hearing, Rubio was shown several video clips where Trump, 79, is seen with his eyes apparently closed while Rubio spoke beside him.

“I don’t even know how to respond to that, other than to tell you that it’s absurd and ridiculous,” Rubio told the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
