Donald Trump has credited an experimental drug treatment with helping him recover from Covid-19 and suggested his diagnosis could be a “blessing in disguise” for the nation’s battle against the pandemic.

In a new White House video posted on Wednesday evening, Mr Trump said his illness had shed light on an experimental antibody cocktail that he credited for his improved condition.
