Why is it that it needs to be so secretive with this president, why cant we onow what it is? What happens when the US comes with a proven drug or treatment that has gOne through all trials, passed by FDA and used here, does he expect for the US to ahare this treatment with his country? I would never hold such a crucial "treatment" from anyone
