Watch Live: RFK Jr. makes “MAHA” announcement at the White House

Washington — Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins are making a “major MAHA announcement” on Wednesday at the White House, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said. 

The White House’s “Make America Healthy Again” announcement comes days after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which is overseen by Kennedy’s health department, has scaled back recommended childhood immunizations. 

The briefing also comes as the U.S. says it’s running Venezuela after capturing the ousted Nicolás Maduro, and as the White House isn’t ruling out seizing Greenland by military force. 

The U.S. on Wednesday seized two Venezuela-linked vessels, an oil tanker in the North Atlantic and a tanker in the Caribbean Sea. Ousted Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro pleaded not guilty on Monday to narco-terrorism, cocaine-importation conspiracy and weapons charges as Mr. Trump has said the U.S. will “run” Venezuela. 

Mr. Trump, who says the U.S. will be overseeing and selling Venezuela’s oil, has a meeting with U.S. oil executives at the White House on Friday. Mr. Trump said Venezuela will be “turning over” 30 million to 50 million barrels of oil, and warned the country to cooperate or face another military intervention. 

Meanwhile, the White House hasn’t ruled out acquiring Greenland by force. Thee White House said Tuesday officials are discussing a wide range of options for acquiring Greenland, including using the U.S. military. Senior administration officials are also discussing possibly acquiring Greenland from Denmark or forming a compact of free association, according to White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt. 

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said earlier this week that it will no longer recommend vaccinating children against against hepatitis A, hepatitis B and rotavirus, despite the CDC’s own publications saying the vaccinations have prevented more than 90,000 deaths and almost 2 million hospitalizations across the last three decades.
