WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is sending prayers to the Bush family and wishing former President George H.W. Bush a "speedy recovery."

Trump is recognizing the former president as he greets French President Emmanuel Macron on the South Lawn of the White House.

Bush has been hospitalized in Houston with an infection, just days after attending the funeral of his wife, Barbara Bush.

Trump is also sending the nation's sympathies to the Canadian people after the "horrendous tragedy" in Toronto.

A driver plowed a rented van along a crowded sidewalk in Toronto, killing 10 people and injuring 15 others. Trump says the nation's hearts are with the grieving families in Canada.
