- MedlinePlus warns excess aspirin can cause overdose symptoms, and reports of makeup concealment have renewed scrutiny about President Donald Trump's health and medical transparency.
- At Davos, as he signed the Board of Peace charter, President Donald Trump's bruising attracted attention while he defended aspirin, saying `They say aspirin is good for thinning out the blood, and I don't want thick blood pouring through my heart`, as several major powers abstained.
