WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump said on Saturday he wanted his administration to make an announcement about his government’s autism findings on Monday.

“We’re going to have an announcement on autism on Monday,” Trump said, declining to offer specifics. “I think it’s gonna be a very important announcement. I think its gonna be one of the most important things that we will do.”

The Wall Street Journal reported this month that Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. plans to announce that use of Kenvue’s popular over-the-counter pain medication Tylenol by pregnant women is potentially linked to autism, contrary to medical guidelines that say it is safe to use.
