Wilbur Ross, the United States Secretary of Commerce, was caught asleep while President Donald Trump delivered a few words during his historic visit to Saudi Arabia last weekend.

The curious video has become a topic of conversation, not only among political experts and analysts, but also among Internet users who have not lost time to make fun of the particular situation.

In a video broadcast by various media outlets covering Trump's important visit to the Middle East, Ross, 79, can be seen with considerable difficulty keeping his eyes open during his boss's speech.

The President of the United States focused his words on Saudi officials on the importance of unified terrorism to the world, referring to Islamic extremist groups and their latest attacks. But we can't help wondering, was Trump's speech so boring as to fall asleep?

It may be that the curious ceremony in which the secretary of commerce participated on Saturday has left him totally exhausted, since he and Trump danced enthusiastically during a traditional ritual with swords, as part of the acts of welcome to the American entourage.

The visit to Saudi Arabia is part of a tour of various countries that is taking place these days the nation's first president in company not only with members of his cabinet, but also with his wife Melania Trump, Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner.
