On Thursday the White House announced that Melania Trump gave Sophie Grégoire Trudeau a ring to check in. The statement released said that the first lady “expressed her well wishes for Mrs. Grégoire Trudeau’s good health, following her recovery from COVID-19 last month, and reaffirmed her deep appreciation for the continued cooperation between the United States and Canada to address unprecedented challenges related to the pandemic.”

On Saturday, Grégoire Trudeau announced she had recovered from COVID-19, having revealed on March 12 that she had tested positive. She quarantined at home with the prime minister and their kids, though they never showed symptoms. (Between then and now, Trump has made a PSA, written some encouraging tweets, and taken part in a call to Spain.)

The call with Grégoire Trudeau turned to business, as it must. Trump “conveyed the importance” of the “strong economic ties” between the U.S and Canada, mentioning that though there is currently a “restriction on cross-border travel related to non-essential travel,” the border will remain “open to essential workers and $1.7 billion in daily trade in goods.” It’s these little reminders of $1.7 billion in trade that are so comforting in these difficult times.
