ALBAWABA - A secret service agent assigned to protect US President Donald Trump recently turned heads for her unusually young appearance. 

The video captured during Trump's California visit showed a young woman standing firm while wearing sunshades and a sleek black suit at a Chevron gas station, sparking debate on social media. 

Some internet users debated that the woman was "too young" to be tasked with protecting the US President. On the contrary, others said that age doesn't matter if she's qualified.

A social media user on X (formerly Twitter) wrote, "If she passed all the physical, mental and background checks, bravo young lady! Bravo!" 

Another added, "Age doesn't matter if she can do the job. Trump's detail wouldn't mess around."

On the other hand, journalist Mario Nawfal wrote, "A female Secret Service agent went viral after appearing in footage as Trump was leaving in his car. She does look a bit too young I have to admit..."

Others compared her features to Swedish activist Greta Thunberg. According to US law, applicants for the Secret Service must be at least 21 years old to be eligible. Additionally, applicants need to pass strict firearms and physical examinations. They are also required to undergo special security training.

By the time of reporting, the woman's identity remains unknown.
