The U.S. has repeatedly rejected a Japanese flu drug, warning it's too risky. But after a meeting between President Trump and Japan's prime minister, the White House wants FDA to allow it as a possible coronavirus treatment.
The Trump administration is encouraging regulators to allow a decades-old flu drug to be administered as a possible coronavirus treatment, despite career officials’ concerns about the risks and limited evidence that the drug would work as a coronavirus treatment, according to three officials with knowledge of the deliberations and internal documents reviewed by POLITICO.

One official said that Abe recently spoke with Trump about the idea, generating enthusiasm within the administration.
