The British prime minister was full of strength and ready to work, said the US president.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson in a telephone conversation with U.S. President Donald Trump after his discharge from hospital sounded energetic and seemed full of energy. The American leader told a briefing for journalists at the White House on Thursday.
“He called me a few days ago. I’ll tell you that his voice sounded [as if he felt] great. I was really surprised”, – Trump said.
“He was ready for work. I was really surprised. It was the same Boris: full of energy, full of strength. I was very surprised because he called me almost immediately after he was discharged from the hospital”, – the American president added.
The April 21 phone call with Trump was the first official event in the Johnson program since he was hospitalized with the coronavirus on April 5. At the hospital, the head of the British government spent a week, including several days in the intensive care unit. After he was discharged, the politician went to Checkers’ country residence near London to regain his health.
