[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Saeng-hye] U.S. President Donald Trump tested negative for the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) on the 14th (local time).
AP News reported this citing President Trump's personal physician.
Earlier, during a COVID-19 press briefing at the White House on the same day, President Trump said he had taken the COVID-19 test the previous evening but did not yet know the results.
Concerns about President Trump's possible infection arose after a person who attended a conservative group event last month tested positive. On the 7th, a person who sat at the dinner table with Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro at Mar-a-Lago in Florida tested positive, and on the 8th, another person who attended a fundraising event also tested positive. AP reported that President Trump appeared to have met with at least three confirmed cases.
