President Donald Trump’s chief economics adviser Larry Kudlow was discharged from the hospital on Wednesday and is doing “very well”, two days after suffering a heart attack, the White House said.

Presidential spokeswoman Sarah Sanders quoted doctors at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Centre as saying that “Larry’s recovery is going very well”.

She said the president was looking forward to “seeing him back to work soon.”

Trump himself had announced his aide’s heart attack on Twitter, soon before his summit meeting in Singapore with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.

The White House has described the cardiac event as “very mild”.
