US EditionTrump admin backs Monsanto effort to limit Roundup lawsuits over glyphosate
The Trump administration argues states cannot impose cancer warnings beyond federal law, backing Bayer amid over 170,000 glyphosate claims nationwide, including 4,500 pending federal cases.

- Critics, including Kelly Ryerson from the Make America Healthy Again movement, argue that the government's support for Bayer contradicts commitments made by President Trump to address pesticide concerns.
