Facebook says it has removed a post from US President Donald Trump's page because it contained false claims about the coronavirus.

The clip was from an interview the president gave to Fox News earlier on Wednesday in which he said children were "almost immune" to Covid-19.

Facebook said the post violated its rules around "harmful Covid misinformation".

It is not the first time Facebook has struck content from Mr Trump's page.

A Facebook spokesperson told US media on Wednesday evening: "This video includes false claims that a group of people is immune from COVID-19 which is a violation of our policies around harmful COVID misinformation."
