Trump has issued an executive order invoking the Defense Production Act of 1950, a law that allows a president to direct and prioritize industrial production in the name of national defense. The order is designed to boost domestic production of glyphosate, a widely used weedkiller that has been at the center of major health-related lawsuits.
It specifically instructs federal agencies to ensure that any resulting rules or directives do not undermine the financial stability of U.S. producers of these materials. “Making America Healthy Again”? It looks more like protecting chemical manufacturers once again.
