Washington: Donald Trump on Thursday released the results of his recent medical test, with his personal physician saying that the 70-year-old Republican presidential candidate is in "excellent physical health".

"In summer, Trump is in excellent physical health," Dr Harold N Bornstein said in a one-page medical report dated September 13, which was released to the press by his campaign. Earlier, the Democratic presidential candidate, 68- year-old Hillary Clinton released her updated medical record after a bout of pneumonia, with her doctor saying she is "fit to serve" as US President. Trump, who is 6 foot 3 inches tall, weighs 107 kilograms, and his liver and thyroid functions are "all within the normal range," the report said. His vital statistics including blood and cholesterol are also normal, but he does take a lipid lowering agent (rosuvastatin) and a low dose aspiring, it added.

He does not use tobacco products or alcohol. "This study was reported within the range of normal," said Dr Bornstein, who has been personal physician of Trump since 1980. "We are pleased to disclose all of the test results which show that Trump is in excellent health and has the stamina to endure uninterrupted the rigours of a punishing and unprecedented campaign and more importantly, the singularly demanding job of President of the US," the campaign said. Trump's latest medical record was made public, a day after the billionaire appeared on Dr Oz show.

'Would label China as currency manipulator'
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has said, if elected, he would label China as currency manipulator and apply countervailing duties until the country ceases its illegal trade activities.

"If China does not stop its illegal activities, including its theft of American trade secrets and intellectual properties, I will apply countervailing duties until China ceases and desists," Trump said in a major speech on economic policies.

This action of enforcing intellectual property rules alone, just alone, would add millions of new American jobs, he said. After becoming the president of the country, Trump said
he will instruct his Treasury Secretary to label China as a currency manipulator.
