President Trump promised he would cure AIDS and childhood cancer "very soon" at a rally in Cincinnati, Ohio.

"We will achieve new breakthroughs in science and medicine," the president said Thursday night. "I see what they are doing. I see it. They show me. The things we are doing in our country today. There's never been anything like it. We will be ending the AIDS epidemic shortly in America, and curing childhood cancer very shortly."

The president's promise was a continuation of a similar promise during his June campaign kickoff when he vowed to "come up with the cures to many, many problems, to many, many diseases including cancer and others. And we're getting closer all the time."

Donald Trump Jr. mocked Joe Biden in June for saying he would "cure cancer" if elected president.
