Trump Surprised as Top Executive Collapses During Oval Office Press Conference
Gordon Findlay, a Novo Nordisk executive, dramatically collapsed while standing behind President Donald Trump during a live press conference at the White House. The event was focused on announcing a new deal related to weight-loss medications.
Suddenly, Findlay's knees gave way, causing him to kneel down. Officials and pharmaceutical representatives rushed to his aid to prevent him from falling completely.
“During the Most Favored Nations Oval Office Announcement, a representative with one of the companies fainted. The White House Medical Unit quickly jumped into action, and the gentleman is okay. The Press Conference will resume shortly.”
— White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt
On-site medics attended to Findlay, ensuring his well-being. Dr. Mehmet Oz, Administrator for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, reportedly helped him to the ground to avoid head injury. Reporters were then asked to leave the room while cabinet members assisted further and elevated his legs.
Summary
The press event resumed shortly after the incident, with Findlay confirmed to be okay by White House medical staff.
