Moment Trump appears to fall asleep during energy and innovation event

The US president seemed to slip into a doze whilst sitting with big oil and technology bosses at the summit in Pittsburgh, as he sat slowly nodding forward with closed eyes for nearly 20 seconds.

It comes as the Trump administration prepares further measures designed to expand artificial intelligence in the US.
