Live updates: Trump teases big autism news; clock ticks toward government shutdown
The White House launches Monday into a week of big events, from a major health care announcement to the United Nations General Assembly to a visit from a key U.S. ally.
President Trump and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will make an announcement on autism at 4 p.m. Monday. Previewing it on Saturday, Trump said, “I think it's gonna be one of the most important things that we will do." Last week, the Wall Street Journal reported officials would release information linking Tylenol to the condition in children.
Ahead of Trump's big week, which includes a U.N. address on Tuesday morning and a visit from Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Thursday, press secretary Karoline Leavitt will hold a press briefing at 1 p.m. Monday.
