00:15The president was seen fighting sleep in the cabinet room, his second such moment there

00:19in under a week, while discussing a multi-billion dollar aid package for U.S. farmers affected

00:24by his trade wars.

00:26His eyelids grew heavy as Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins detailed the deal.
