President Trump had a hoarse voice on Monday while meeting with the White House Task Force on the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which he attributed to “shouting” at “stupid” people over trade with a foreign country.  

NBC’s Garrett Haake asked the President why, and Trump said he was “shouting at people because they were stupid about something having to do with trade in our country, and I straightened it out.”

“I blew my stack at these people,” he added.

The whole room erupted in laughter.

WATCH:

Reporter: The health of the president is always news. Your voice sounds a little rough. Are you feeling alright?

Trump: I feel great. I was shouting at people because they were stupid about something having to do with trade in our country, and I straightened it out. But I blew my stack at these people.

Later in the press conference, another reporter asked for details on his “shouting.”

Trump explained that “A country wanted to try and renegotiate the terms of their trade deal, and I wasn’t happy about it.”

When she pressed him for further details on the country, Trump responded, “Why would I say that to you? I can’t believe it,” leading the room to burst into laughter once again.

WATCH:

Reporter: You mentioned your voice, and you were shouting about trade. Which country, in particular, upset you? Was it India?

Trump: A country wanted to try and renegotiate the terms of their trade deal, and I wasn’t happy about it.

Reporter: But which country was it? People want to know.

Trump: Why would I say that to you? I can’t believe it.
