HHS Secretary Defends Glyphosate Order
During a hearing, the Secretary of Health and Human Services defended President Trump's executive order regarding glyphosate, stating it does not increase the use of the chemical and is linked to national security. The secretary also mentioned $200 million allocated to help America move away from Clifus Aver and discussed the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act of 1948, which exempts traditionally used foods from testing. He stated that his role is to perform his duties as the head of the leading health agency rather than acting as the President's messenger. Kennedy emphasized that he is actively monitoring concerns and performing his job functions.
