President Donald Trump addressed his raspy voice during a public appearance on Monday. He stated the hoarseness resulted from a lengthy and intense discussion on trade.
The President explained he became angry during talks with an unnamed foreign country. The nation attempted to renegotiate a previously agreed-upon trade deal.
Trump said this effort to change the terms of the agreement caused him to "blow his stack," an idiom meaning to become very angry. The incident highlights ongoing tensions in international trade relations.
