The U.

S Food and Drug Administration said several weeks ago that there was no proof that Hydroxy Cora queen was effective against the virus and that it could cause heart problems.

Mr.

Trump's also renewed his attack on the World Health Organization over its response to the initial outbreak in China.

In a letter, he said he might make the temporary freeze of US funding of the W H O permanent if it didn't reform.

Peter Bos has this hydroxy claure Quinn the pill President Trump has been promoting for weeks as a drug that may lessen the symptoms of the Corona virus.

There's no medical evidence.

It helps patients recover from the disease.

In fact, it could have fatal side effects.

But Mr Trump says, even though he's healthy, he's trying it anyway.

The front line workers, many many are taking it.

I happen to be taken it.

I happen to be taking it tracksuit jacket and hydroxy right now.

Yeah, a couple of weeks ago started taking it because I think it's could have heard a lot of good stories.

Last month, the U.

S Food and Drug Administration said hydroxy Clara Quinn had not been shown to be safe and effective for treating or preventing COVE in 19 it issued a warning that some people could suffer serious heart problems as a result of taking it in combination with other drugs.

Mr.

Trump said he'd heard anecdotal evidence that it had helped some Corona virus patients.

This is a a pill that's been used for a long time for 30 40 years on the malaria and don't Lupus to and even on arthritis.

I guess from what I understand.

So it's been heavily tested in terms of.

I was just waiting to see your eyes light up when I said this, but you know what I announces, but I've taken it for about a week and 1/2 now, and I'm still here.

The president's doctor said Mr Trump received regular testing for Covert 19 on that he was negative for the virus and free of symptoms.

After numerous discussions he and I had regarding the evidence for and against the use of hydroxy Clara Quinn, we concluded the potential benefit from treatment outweighed the relative risk.

But that's not how other doctors see it.

The president has been roundly condemned for his use of the drug.

It's a medication that has serious side effects, including cardiac arrhythmias, abnormal heart rhythms that could be fatal.

And so I really worry about other people listening to what President Trump it's saying and potentially taking this medication that has no proven benefit but actually could have a lot of harm.

With the U.

S death toe from the virus now over 90,000 on the country gradually reopening, President Trump seems determined to defy his own experts and offer Americans hope that the Corona virus crisis will soon be over.

Mr.

Trumpers also given the World Health Organization and ultimatum threatening permanently to stop funding the W H O if it fails to commit to major substantive improvements within the next 30 days, be deposed.

BBC News Los Angeles Well president trumps Renewed criticism of the WHL comes as the organization holds on second day of an online meeting off its governing assembly.

Our correspondent, imagine folks is in Bern for us, and I asked her what the response is being to those comments from Mr Trump.

Well, uh, people at the World Health Organization in Geneva are waking up this morning to that letter, and I think it has caused a certain amount of shock and dismay because a Z the W h o.

Director General Dr Ted Rose keep saying we are in the middle of a pandemic on our focus.

Needs to be saving lives, controlling the virus, supporting countries to get to a point where they can get people back to work and return to some kind of normality.

There are millions and millions of people facing difficulties all over the world because of this virus.

So I think the move by by Donald Trump to say, do what I say or we're going to cut your funding is really worrying not just for the World Health Organization but for the United Nations as a whole.

Because, you know, it depends on member states working together.

Multilateralism is is the kind of technical word we use for it and taking decisions together.

And the other countries taking part in the World Health Assembly have tried while approving an independent investigation into the handling of the pandemic, are trying to show their willingness to show solidarity and unity in the face of this pandemic.

So it's dismaying not just to the w h o, but I think Teoh many other member states as well.

This letter Beijing has responded, saying Mr Trump was trying to mislead the public and smear China on wanted to use the issue to bargain over its obligations to the W.
