What to know about glyphosate, the herbicide behind a Trump executive order that’s angered MAHA moms | CNN

Supporters of the 'Make America Healthy Again' (MAHA) strategy have long railed against pesticides, making opposition to them a pillar of the movement. However, a recent executive order from the Trump administration has signaled a protective stance toward glyphosate, the world's most widely used herbicide. The order aims to streamline federal oversight and prevent a patchwork of state-level bans or warning labels that have plagued manufacturers like Bayer. Health advocates and 'MAHA moms' argue that the chemical is linked to cancer and environmental degradation, creating a political flashpoint between the administration's pro-industry agricultural stance and its health-conscious populist base.
