In a busy day for U.S. politics, President Donald Trump is set to address the United Nations General Assembly at 9:50 AM EST. Notably, reactions are emerging to his recent press conference where he suggested a link between the pain medication Tylenol, known as paracetamol, and autism when taken by pregnant women. He advised against the medication and expressed concerns over vaccinations for infants. Trump’s statements have drawn sharp criticism from medical and autism advocacy groups, including the American Academy of Pediatrics, highlighting a lack of evidence supporting his claims. Bioethicist Art Caplan called the remarks a “saddest display” of misinformation.

In related news, Trump signed an executive order designating “antifa” as a domestic terrorist organization following recent violent incidents. As tensions rise internationally, the White House responded to countries recognizing Palestinian statehood, emphasizing that such actions are perceived as unproductive. Trump is also slated to meet with Congressional Democrats regarding healthcare spending this week. Meanwhile, Lindsey Halligan has been sworn in as interim U.S. attorney, replacing Erik Siebert, who resigned under pressure. As developments unfold, Trump’s address to the UN is highly anticipated.
