Washington (CNN) A United States Secret Service agent died after suffering a stroke while supporting President Donald Trump's trip to Scotland over the weekend, the Secret Service said Wednesday. 
 
 The 42-year-old agent, who is now being identified as Special Agent Noel E. Remagen, was working on protection for national security adviser John Bolton on the midnight shift when he was found to be unresponsive by colleagues at Trump's Turnberry resort Saturday night. 
 
 Remagen was quickly attended to by a White House doctor and Secret Service colleagues before being rushed to Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow, where he passed away on Sunday, a law enforcement source told CNN. 
 
 Remagen is survived by a wife and two small children, and was the son of a retired Secret Service employee. 
 
 The President and first lady Melania Trump departed for Joint Base Andrews Wednesday afternoon to see Remagen's family, the White House said.

 The reporter, identified by The New York Times as Kurdistan TV reporter Rahim Rashidi, didn’t seem disturbed by the reference and thanked Trump for calling on him. 
 
 “Thank you very much for your time, Mr. President,” Rahim replied, before asking Trump what the U.S. relationship with Kurds will be like now that ISIS has been defeated. 
 
 The moment quickly went viral on social media as people were left in disbelief over Trump’s cavalier reference.

 In response to Rashidi’s question, Trump said that the U.S. and the Kurds are “trying to get along very well.” 
 
 “We’re trying to help them a lot,” the president said. “We do get along great with the Kurds. We’re trying to help them a lot.” 
 
 He added: “They fought with us. They died with us. They died. We lost tens of thousands of Kurds, died, fighting ISIS. They died for us, and with us. And for themselves. They died, but they are great people. And we don’t forget.”

 In an earlier exchange, Trump asked a journalist where he was from, and the journalist identified himself as a Kurd. This prompted Trump to compliment Kurds as “great people” and “good fighters” who helped the U.S. defeat ISIS. 
 
 Trump held the news conference on Wednesday hours after a woman named Julie Swetnick publicly accused Trump’s Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of being present at a party where she was gang-raped around 1982. 
 
 Swetnick is the third woman to come forward with allegations of sexual misconduct against Kavanaugh. 
 
 At the news conference, Trump told reporters that he believed all of the allegations against Judge Kavanaugh are “false.”

– A 19-year veteran of the Secret Service has died after suffering a stroke during President Trump's visit to the UK. The 42-year-old agent, identified as Nole E.
