Both Trumps took to their favorite communications weapon - Twitter - to offer their felicitations.

'On behalf of the United States, congratulations to the Thai Navy SEALs and all on the successful rescue of the 12 boys and their coach from the treacherous cave in Thailand. Such a beautiful moment - all freed, great job!,' President Trump wrote on Tuesday morning.

'Wonderful to hear all 12 boys & their coach are out of the cave in #Thailand. What an amazing & heroic global effort! Wishing them all a speedy recovery,' the first lady wrote on her account.

The Trumps issued their congratulations as they are in route to Europe for meetings with NATO, a stop in England to meet with Prime Minister Theresa May and Queen Elizabeth II, a weekend in Scotland and then a summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Helsinki.

May also tweeted her congratulations to rescue workers.

'Delighted to see the successful rescue of those trapped in the caves in Thailand. The world was watching and will be saluting the bravery of all those involved,' she wrote.

Other world leaders like British Prime Minister Theresa May tweeted their congratulations

A team of specialist divers, lead by British experts and Thai Navy SEALs, entered the cave and 'effectively pulled' the boys through several miles of waterfilled tunnels one by one - despite many of them not even knowing how to swim.

The final four school boys and their coach, who had been trapped in darkness in Tham Luang Cave complex for 18 days, were carried out on stretchers Tuesday as the three-day operation came to an end.

The 12 boys and their coach became trapped during a visit on June 23 when monsoon floods blocked the cave exit and forced them back three miles into the mountain.

They ended up stranded on a ledge, starving in the darkness, until they were found by a team of British divers over a week later.
