Trump stops taking drugs to treat his "Corona" infection

US President Donald Trump announced in a television interview that he was "no longer taking medication," revealing more details about his battle with the emerging corona virus.

And the US President was a guest on the "Tucker Carlson Tonight" program on Fox, in an appearance that the White House described as a "medical evaluation" that Dr. Mark Siegel conducted for Trump on the air.

Trump told Siegel: "Right now, I'm not taking medication. I'm probably not taking any medications for eight hours."

It was unclear when the interview was recorded, which Carlson said was filmed by White House staff.

Trump's doctors said earlier that they had given him a powerful combination of curative drugs, including dexamethasone, which is usually given for severe cases of Covid-19.

Trump also said he had been tested again for COVID-19.
