[Asia Economy New York=Correspondent Baek Jong-min] On the 11th (local time), U.S. President Donald Trump claimed that he has developed immunity to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19). Questions about his health have resurfaced. Twitter attached a warning label to his mention of immunity despite no announcement of a negative COVID-19 test result.

On the morning of the same day, President Trump posted on his Twitter, "Yesterday, there was a comprehensive and complete approval from the White House medical team. It means that I cannot catch it (COVID-19) nor spread it. Glad to know!" He separately claimed to be "immune."

In an interview with Fox News that day, he also said, "I think I am immune." He added, "I don't know, maybe for a long time, maybe for a short time, maybe for life, but I think I am immune. Nobody knows. But I am immune."

He asserted, "The president is in very good condition to fight this battle," emphasizing that there would be no problem with starting a campaign in Florida from the 12th, the following day.

President Trump’s COVID-19 negative status has still not been confirmed. Although his personal physician Dr. Sean Conley announced in a statement the day before that President Trump is no longer considered a risk to transmit COVID-19 to others, the negative test result has not been separately disclosed, raising suspicion among U.S. media.

Ultimately, Twitter hid President Trump’s tweet and attached a warning label.
