The UK has refused to condemn Donald Trump for using an unproven drug that his own government has warned could be "dangerous".
The President prompted shock last night when he revealed he has been taking the malaria drug hydroxychloroquine for a week and a half.
He claimed: "I've had a lot of good stories, and if it's not good, I'm not going to get hurt by it." Yet the US Food and Drug Administration is warning not to take the drug to treat coronavirus outside of hospitals or clinical trials.
The FDA said it can cause a "dangerously rapid heart rate", especially when combined with certain other drugs, and "has not been shown to be safe and effective for treating or preventing COVID-19".
