United States President Donald Trump has announced a major announcement regarding autism, which is expected to be made public on Monday from the Oval Office.
During a speech at the memorial service for conservative activist Charlie Kirk, Trump deviated from the memorial themes to deliver a health-focused message.
He told the audience that he believes his administration has made great progress in treating autism spectrum disorders and said that "I think we have found a cure for autism," adding that this will be one of the most important announcements he has ever made as president.
Trump did not provide specific details about the announcement, but linked it to efforts to understand the causes of the increase in autism cases in the United States and the need for immediate intervention.
"I think you'll find it amazing," he told the crowd. "I think we found a cure for autism," he added.
Trump vowed that his administration "will not let it happen again."
"I think it's going to be one of the most important press conferences I'll ever have, and I'm really looking forward to it," Trump said.
Earlier on Sunday, reports suggested that Trump planned to announce that pregnant women should avoid taking Tylenol unless they have a fever due to the increased risk.
The advice comes from a federal review into what is driving the rise in autism rates across the US, an initiative led by Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr.
Officials also plan to advertise a drug called leucovorin as a potential treatment for the neurodevelopmental disorder, according to the Washington Post report.
