President Donald Trump told reporters the nation has ordered 'millions' of units of the drug 'cloroquine' that he said he has a 'feeling' will be effective against the coronavirus.
'We ordered them. We have millions of units ordered,' Trump said, name checking the German manufacturer Bayer, which he called a 'great company.'
'Millions of units are ordered and we’re going to see what happens,' Trump said.
Trump and health officials referenced the drug yesterday as among those having promising potential to alleviate those suffering from the coronavirus – although Trump was immediately contradicted on claims that it was ready for use.
