The first lady met the boy during a visit to the Bambino Gesu children’s hospital in Rome.

{mosads}”My visit to Bambino Gesu Children’s Hospital today was very moving. To spend time speaking to and coloring with children who have such a positive spirit despite illness was an amazing gift,” Trump said in a statement.

East Wing communications director Stephanie Grisham told CNN that the first lady wrote a letter to Pope Francis requesting to visit the hospital.

The first lady visited the hospital after her audience with the pope, along with President Trump and first daughter Ivanka Trump.

Trump and the first lady are now in Brussels for his first NATO meeting.
