Trump's move, which also seeks ‘immunity’ for makers, faces backlash from health advocates and MAHA coalition

Donald Trump has signed an executive order protecting production of glyphosate-based herbicides, such as Roundup, which some bodies and studies have linked to cancer and which are the subject of widespread US litigation.

The president’s move, which also seeks to provide “immunity” for makers of the herbicides, was strongly criticized by health and environmental advocates including some figures in the Make America Healthy Again (Maha) coalition.

The order also protects domestic production of phosphorus, which is used in making glyphosate and other agricultural chemicals, as well as a range of other products, including some in military defense.

Smells like another big under-the-table payoff.

Nah, they simply invited Trump to their next "bring your daughter to work" day. Why would a CEO do anything when they have a perfectly good workforce to exploit?

MAHA - LOLOLOLOLOL.

Another one of the right's baby-talk words shown to be a total fraud.

Just make sure you drink more raw milk, skip all your vaccinations and eat ridiculous amounts of animal flesh; I'm sure that will magically ward off any effects of Roundup.

I bet the SC is going to rubber stamp his usurpation of the judicial branch yet again.
