BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The European Commission said on Tuesday there was no evidence that a drug touted by U.S. President Donald Trump as a potential miracle cure against COVID-19 was effective against the disease caused by the new coronavirus.
Trump had said that hydroxychloroquine, an anti-malaria drug, could be among "the biggest game changers in the history of medicine" for its potential effects against COVID-19.
"The efficacy of hydroxychloroquine in the treatment of COVID-19 patients has to date not been proved," a spokesman for the European Commission said on Tuesday, relaying an internal opinion from the European Medicine Agency.
The spokesman said there was also no evidence either of the positive effects of chloroquine, another malaria drug, which is also being tested for its possible use against COVID-19.
The U.S. Health and Human Services on Thursday listed hydroxychloroquine as a protected medical resource after Trump signed an executive order to prevent its hoarding and price gouging.
Hungary, a European Union member, last week banned the commercial export of hydroxychloroquine.

Believe anything from the European Commission and I have a bridge to sell.
You better smile when you are saying that.
This sounds as if written ten days ago.
AP, all the poop (unfit to print)
“touted”
There’s that loaded word again.
EU? Pffft...who the hell listens to these globalist turds?
That’s why it’s being tested....
Sounds like an anti-Trump hit piece.
Well, it may not have been “proven” through a scientifically reviewable double blind test — but the French seem to be getting excellent results and NY and Minnesota should be revealing results from their use of the drugs any day now.
Again, in this whole pandemic, it is STILL all about getting Trump! I mean this is pathetically pathalogical. This is a sickness.
No proof it isn’t, either, retards. No one ever said there’s “proof”. There’s plenty of empirical evidence that it may help people get over the “hump” and survive. And not much downside in trying. The left are truly brain dead and a bunch of sick puppies.
This isn’t a dick pill or a cure for yellow toenail fungus. We don’t have ten years for a bunch of lazy government testing nerds to gaze at their navels while people who might be helped are dying.
Why don’t you say that to his face....oh yea, you’re banned
