00:06White House Roundtable.
00:08Sleepy dawn struck again after Donald Trump appeared to nod off during a White House Roundtable
00:13on December 8.
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.
