Following an announcement from Biden's personal office that he has been diagnosed with "aggressive" prostate cancer, Trump, 78, shared a statement on Truth Social wishing Biden, 82, a "successful recovery."
"Melania and I are saddened to hear about Joe Biden's recent medical diagnosis," Trump wrote. "We extend our warmest and best wishes to Jill and the family, and we wish Joe a fast and successful recovery."
Earlier on Sunday, May 18, Biden's personal office announced in a statement obtained by Wall Street Journal reporter Ken Thomas that he received the diagnosis after seeing a doctor last week.
"Last week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms," the statement said.
"On Friday, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone," the statement continued. "While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management. The President and his family are reviewing treatment options with his physicians."
A number of other political figures have spoken out in the wake of Biden's medical announcement, including his former vice president, Kamala Harris.
