“Under my leadership, we will release the vaccine in record time ... we can get it during October,” Trump said.
He noted that under normal circumstances, the development of a vaccine "could take two to three years."
“It might be a big surprise.
The peoples of the world will be happy, ”the US President said.
Trump also expressed confidence in the safety and effectiveness of the American COVID-19 vaccine.
In early September, Trump said prototypes of a coronavirus vaccine were in the final stages of testing, which could be completed by October.
The Washington Post, citing sources, wrote that Trump demanded that the country's health authorities accelerate the development of a coronavirus vaccine.
