President Donald Trump’s administration announced an investigation Thursday into potential health effects on the citizens of East Palestine, Ohio, from the 2023 Norfolk Southern train derailment.
Vice President JD Vance announced the new investigation alongside Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and National Institutes of Health (NIH) Director Jay Bhattacharya.
“We’re finally going to study the effects of these chemicals and finally get to the bottom of what effect this terrible train crash and the ensuing consequences had on the people of East Palestine,” Vance said in a video he posted on X.
I’m proud to announce with @SecKennedy and @NIHDirector_Jay that the Trump Administration is launching a program to study long-term health effects of the chemical spill in East Palestine, OH and help residents access the care they need.
