U.S. President Donald Trump celebrated his 80th birthday with an extraordinary display of political machismo on June 14, staging a cage fight on the White House lawn hours after announcing a peace deal with Iran.
In unprecedented scenes, Trump walked out of the Oval Office alongside Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) boss Dana White and headed towards the giant arena dubbed "The Claw."
On the way, the reality TV star-turned-president mounted the historic Truman balcony and saluted while the national anthem and 12 U.S. military jets staged a noisy flyover of the White House.
