A video of a 16-year-old rescuer diving into a stormy sea to save a 10-year-old boy went viral in the United States. President Donald Trump announced he will invite the teen and his family to the White House to award a medal, according to reports.
The development follows President Trump's earlier statement Tuesday evening, in which he said he planned to bring a heroic young man to the White House for a High Civilian Honor without identifying the person or incident. A viral video now shows the rescue: a 16-year-old jumping into rough seas to save a 10-year-old boy. Trump then announced the formal invitation for a medal. The rescuer and the boy have not been publicly named.
