Trump accused of ‘hiding’ Covid vaccine – follow live

Former president Donald Trump has been accused of “hiding” the fact that both he and Melania Trump received a Covid-19 vaccination in January before leaving the White House.

Democrat congressman Ted Lieu questioned why the pair decided to “hide the fact that they got a Covid vaccine” after The New York Times revealed that they each received one in private, according to an adviser to the former president.

Others also criticised Trump for declining to receive the jab in public, which could have boosted confidence in the vaccine among his supporters.

On sunday he had told the Conservative Political Conference in Orlando (CPAC) that “everybody” should “go get your shot”.

Biden told López Obrador that the two countries “haven’t been perfect neighbours to each other”. The Mexican president responded that he is glad Biden is “willing to maintain good relations for the good of our people”.
