US EditionSlovakia’s PM rails against Politico report he was ‘shocked’ by Trump’s psychological state
Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico and the White House both deny claims that Fico expressed concerns about President Trump's mental health after their January meeting.
- On January 22, Politico reported that Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico told EU leaders he was shocked by President Donald Trump's demeanour after meeting him at Mar‑a‑Lago on January 17, citing anonymous diplomats.
- Diplomats said Robert Fico described Donald Trump as dangerous and worried about his psychological state, appearing traumatised and saying Trump seemed out of his mind after their meeting.
- Fico responded on X, writing, `I must emphatically reject the lies of the POLITICO portal about how I assessed my meeting with US President D. Trump at an informal summit in Brussels.`
- Claims and counterclaims arrived at a sensitive moment for transatlantic politics and could affect EU leaders' confidence in US leadership; the episode reignited debate about Trump's fitness and the 25th Amendment, though no formal action followed.
- Beyond the immediate dispute, observers say the episode adds an unprecedented international dimension to debate over Donald Trump's psychological and physical fitness, fuelled by visible signs such as bruised hands and footage of dozing, while Republican allies dismiss concerns as politically motivated.
