Donald Trump and Melania Trump appeared to slow their pace alongside Chinese President Xi Jinping during a walk at the US National Archives, prompting fresh attention on Xi’s health and physical condition. The footage itself provides no confirmed evidence of any serious illness. But it comes after Xi skipped a gala dinner during the BRICS summit in New Delhi, with reports citing claims that he was unwell. Beijing has not publicly explained his absence. The moment has also renewed scrutiny of the physical demands placed on both Xi and Trump as two of the world’s most powerful leaders continue to face intense public attention over their appearances and stamina.
