US President Donald Trump has claimed a vaccine for coronavirus will be ready for use by the end of the year. 

The declaration comes from a news conference delivered by Trump, where he alleges he will be able to provide a vaccine by October.

"Under my leadership we will produce a vaccine in record time...and in speed like nobody's ever seen before. This could have taken two or three years and instead it's going to be done in a very short period of time, could even have it during the month of October", states Trump.
