"The President is in excellent health and I look forward to briefing some of the details on Tuesday," Jackson said.

Jackson, a Navy rear admiral, directs the White House medical unit and has worked as a White House physician since 2006.

Trump's last-released full exam was in September 2016, when Dr. Harold Bornstein declared the then-presidential candidate to be in good health but overweight.

At the time, Trump was 6-foot, 3-inches and weighed 236 pounds, which Bornstein, said made him "overweight for his height." Trump takes statin, a medication to lower his cholesterol, and a daily low dose of aspirin.
