As news emerged yesterday that Donald and Melania Trump had contracted the coronavirus, PM Mette Frederiksen was among many world leaders to wish the US President and First Lady a quick recovery.
Among others, Frederiksen was joined by Angela Merkel, Boris Johnson, Narendra Modi and US election rival Joe Biden, who was recently involved in a controversial election debate with Trump.
“I send a warm and hopeful message to the US President and First Lady. We all hope here in Denmark that the president and first lady quickly recover and don’t suffer too many complications,” Frederiksen told DR Nyheder.
“It can hit us all and no-one is exempt. The only right thing to do is to offer well-wishings.”
Frederiksen went on to state that the world needs the US President to recover as quickly as possible.
