Melania Trump Calls Boris Johnson's Fiancée: 'The U.S. Is Praying For You'

First Lady Melania Trump spoke with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson fiancée, Carrie Symonds on Thursday to let her know that the United States is “praying for their speedy and full recoveries,” as Johnson is currently recovering from the coronavirus at the Chequers country estate.

“Mrs. Trump expressed well wishes for Ms. Symonds and Prime Minister Johnson, and noted that the United States was praying for their speedy and full recoveries,” according to a readout of the call from the White House.

During the call, both ladies “reaffirmed” the two countries stands together in the “fight to defeat the coronavirus pandemic” and will get through these difficult times.

“Mrs. Trump reaffirmed that the United States stands together with the United Kingdom in the fight to defeat the coronavirus pandemic. Mrs. Trump and Ms. Symonds expressed optimism that the United States and the United Kingdom would get through this difficult period and emerge stronger than before,” the White House readout said.

Earlier this month, Symonds, who is pregnant revealed that she experienced the “main symptoms” of Coronavirus, but did not get tested and is now “on the mend” after going into self-isolation.

“I’ve spent the past week in bed with the main symptoms of coronavirus. I haven’t needed to be tested and, after seven days of rest, I feel stronger and I’m on the mend,” Symonds tweeted.

Being pregnant with Covid-19 is obviously worrying. To other pregnant women, please do read and follow the most up to date guidance which I found to be v reassuring: https://t.co/JPvIDeB3l6
