Adviser Kudlow recovering after heart attack
NEW YORK — Larry Kudlow, the prominent commentator who joined the Trump administration this year as the president’s top economic adviser, is recovering after suffering a “very mild” heart attack, the White House said Tuesday.
White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said in a statement that Kudlow is expected to remain at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center as “a standard precaution” after suffering the heart attack Monday.
“His doctors expect Larry will make a full and speedy recovery,” Sanders said. “We look forward to seeing him back at work soon.”
Kudlow, the director of the National Economic Council, had joined President Donald Trump last week in Canada for the Group of Seven meeting of world leaders.
Minutes before Trump met with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Singapore, the president tweeted, “Our Great Larry Kudlow, who has been working so hard on trade and the economy, has just suffered a heart attack.”
