President Donald Trump is in “excellent health” and fit to carry out his duties, the White House said Sunday, following a routine physical conducted Friday.

The update came in a report released by White House physician Captain Sean Barbella, offering the most detailed account of Trump’s health since he returned to office in January.

Trump, 78, is the oldest individual to assume the U.S. presidency.

“President Trump exhibits excellent cognitive and physical health and is fully fit to execute the duties of the Commander-in-Chief and Head of State,” Barbella wrote.

The statement did not detail specific metrics such as weight, blood pressure, or cholesterol levels, but emphasized the president's overall fitness for the role.

The White House has said it will release further details if any follow-up testing is required.
