Trump Delivers Remarks on the United States' Coronavirus Testing Strategy

The president said last week that his administration could override the US Food and Drug Administration's attempt to toughen standards for the authorisation of a COVID-19 vaccine.

President Donald Trump is giving a press briefing on the US' coronavirus testing strategy at the White House on Monday.

Trump has promised that 100 million doses of a coronavirus vaccine will be distributed throughout the country by the end of the year. Before the presidential election on 3 November, he said, the vaccine would be available for distribution.

Democrats have accused the US president of trying to rush the development of a vaccine against coronavirus, expressing concerns that it could affect its efficiency.
