[Asia Economy Reporter Jang Sehee] President Moon Jae-in is expected to send a message of consolation to U.S. President Donald Trump, who tested positive for the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) on the 2nd.

On the day President Moon received a report from his aides immediately after President Trump announced his positive diagnosis on Twitter, he decided to send a message wishing for his speedy recovery.

In April, when British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who was infected with COVID-19, was hospitalized due to worsening symptoms, President Moon expressed his sympathy via Twitter.

At that time, President Moon wrote on Twitter, "I recently saw you at the G20 virtual summit, and I was very surprised and saddened to hear about the Prime Minister's sudden hospitalization," adding, "I hope the COVID-19 situation in the UK stabilizes soon, and I look forward to meeting the Prime Minister in the near future."

Meanwhile, President Trump and his wife, First Lady Melania, tested positive for COVID-19 on the same day. Earlier, one of his close aides, Hope Hicks, was confirmed to be infected with COVID-19, after which she underwent testing and was in isolation.
