The White House says US President Joe Biden is fine after tripping over a sandbag on stage.
He was helped up and later gave a "thumbs up" sign.President Joe Biden tripped and fell after handing out the last diploma at a graduation ceremony at the United States Air Force Academy, but got up quickly and walked back to his seat.
The 80-year-old US president fell forward, caught himself with his hands, then got up on one knee helped by three people. He walked back to his seat unassisted. After Mr Biden was helped up, he pointed behind him, seeming to indicate what he tripped over. He mingled with other officials afterward, smiling and giving a "thumbs up" sign."There was a sandbag on stage while he was shaking hands," he explained.
The fall came after a commencement address Mr Biden delivered to a flag-waving audience where he warned graduates they will enter service in an increasingly unstable world, citing challenges from Russia and China.
