“If we can help little #CharlieGard, as per our friends in the UK and the Pope, we would be delighted to do so,” the US president tweeted."

“Our hearts weep for #CharlieGard,” the conservative senator Ted Cruz tweeted. 

The head of bioethics at New York University Langone Medical Center, Arthur Caplan, called for politicians such as Cruz and Trump to put their money where their mouth is.

“Those such as President Trump who say they want to help Charlie should be telling us what they are budgeting to expand access to healthcare including both novel experimental interventions and proven treatments for all American kids,” he wrote in the Hill. “Anything less,” he said, “is just empty, feel-good, cheap politician hot air.”
