WASHINGTON (AP) The president’s voice was extremely hoarse on Monday, but he told reporters his health was fine and blamed his sore throat on having to yell at people over trade talks.

“I was shouting at people because they were stupid about something having to do with trade in a country,” Trump said. “And I straightened it out, but I blew my stack at those people,” Trump said.

The president declined to say which country he was yelling at, but he said a “country wanted to try and renegotiate the terms of their trade deal and I wasn’t happy about it.”

Trump said of his health that he feels “great.”
