File - Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is offering his family's best wishes to U.S. President Donald Trump and the first lady.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is offering his family's best wishes to U.S. President Donald Trump and the first lady.

Trudeau says he and his wife, Sophie Gregoire Trudeau, hope the president and Melania Trump recover fully from COVID-19.

Trump announced early this morning that both he and his wife have tested positive for the coronavirus.

Gregoire Trudeau tested positive for COVID-19 in March after returning from a trip to England.

She recovered within weeks, and the prime minister never contracted the virus.

But Trudeau points out it's the same news many Canadians are getting.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is among the world leaders sending their best wishes to US President Donald Trump and his wife after their positive COVID-19 tests.

Johnson says on hearing the news, he got in touch with the White House immediately.
