Donald Trump has promised that the treatment he received for coronavirus will be offered to Americans for free.

In a new video posted on Twitter, the president said: “I want to get for you what I got – and I’m going to make it free. You’re not going to pay for it.

“It wasn’t your fault that this happened, it was China’s fault. China’s going to pay a big price for what they’ve done to the world.”

Elsewhere in the video, Mr Trump said he disagreed with the characterisation of the treatment manufactured by Regeneron as therapeutic – and said he thought of it as a cure.

“I want everybody to be given the same treatment as your president, because I feel great,” he said. I feel perfect. “This was a blessing from God that I caught it. This was a blessing in disguise.”
