Trump’s Saudi speech puts commerce secretary to sleep

RIYADH – US Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross was caught snoozing during President Donald Trump’s speech on the “crisis of Islamic extremism” in Riyadh during his first state visit overseas.

The billionaire investor-turned-politician was apparently less than impressed with Trump’s 36-minute speech to leaders at the Arab-Islamic-American Summit on Sunday.

Many viewers noticed the 79-year-old catching some shut-eye while wearing a translating earpiece for the speech – despite it being delivered in English. At least the president’s daughter Ivanka appeared to be listening intently.
