PRESIDENT Donald Trump has announced that British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is “doing much better” after he spoke with Downing Street.
The president made the announcement during his press conference on Wednesday.
Trump announced that the PM is doing “much better… at least better… he seems to be doing better, and that’s good, and we send our regards to Boris and his family and his friends..
“Certainly he’s had a tough bout.
“He’s still going through a tough time, but he seems to be doing better,” he added.
Also on Wednesday, the UK’s Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak said: “The PM remains in intensive care where his condition is improving.
“He has been sitting up in bed and engaging positively with the clinical team.”
Boris Johnson, who was diagnosed with Covid-19 in March was rushed to intensive care on the evening of Monday, April 6, as his fight against the virus dramatically worsened.
The president provided the update just days after he told the press he was praying for the PM.
On Monday, he said: “I was very sad to hear he was taken into ICU.
“Americans are all praying for his recovery.
“When you get taken in intensive care it gets very, very serious.
“He’s been a really good friend, something very special – strong, resolute, doesn’t quit, doesn’t give up.
“We’ll see if we can be of help. We contacted all of Boris’s doctors, and we’ll see what is going to take place.”
