The baby suffers from a rare genetic disorder that has left him unable to move his arms, legs or to breathe unaided.



“If we can help little #CharlieGard, as per our friends in the U.K. and the Pope, we would be delighted to do so,” Trump said in a morning Twitter post.





President of the United States of America, Donald Trump, has offered help to a terminally ill-Baby named Charlie Gard in the United Kingdom.



Trump made this known on Monday in a Twitter post, after the baby’s parents lost a legal battle to give him experimental therapy in the United States.



“If we can help little #CharlieGard, as per our friends in the U.K. and the Pope, we would be delighted to do so,” Trump said in a morning Twitter post.


The parents of Charlie, who is 10-month-old and who will be 11-month-old on Tuesday, wanted him to undergo an American therapy trial, while the specialists at the hospital in London said the treatment was experimental and would not help.


The baby suffers from a rare genetic disorder that has left him unable to move his arms, legs or to breathe unaided.



He has a form of mitochondrial disease – a genetic condition that causes progressive muscle weakness and brain damage.



Chris Gard and Connie Yates, the baby’s parent, launched a fundraising appeal to help pay for his doctors’ bills in the United States, and raised 1.3 million pounds ($1.68 million) from more than 83,000 donations, according to his Gofundme page.



Last month, Britain’s Supreme Court ruled that going to the United States for treatment would prolong the baby’s suffering without any realistic prospect of helping him. The court would not allow an American doctor found by the couple to be identified and details about the therapy were not available.



The parents asked the European Court of Human Rights to overturn the ruling, but that court last week declined to intervene.



Trump weighed in on Charlie Gard a day after Pope Francis.



“The Holy Father is following the case of little Charlie Gard with affection and emotion and expresses his closeness to his parents. He is praying for them, hoping that their desire to accompany and care for their own child to the end is not ignored,” according to statement from the Vatican on Sunday.
