- Robert F. Kennedy Jr., serving as Health Secretary, is publicly supporting a decision made by Donald Trump.
- The decision involves safeguarding a substance that serves as a precursor to glyphosate, a controversial pesticide.
- Glyphosate, often used as an herbicide, has been linked to various health issues by numerous studies and experts.
- This stance is notable because RFK Jr. has previously associated glyphosate with chronic diseases and expressed intentions to reduce its exposure.
- The support for Trump’s order marks a significant shift in RFK Jr.’s earlier commitments regarding the regulation of harmful chemicals.
- This move is likely to provoke discussions and criticisms from those who favor stricter regulations on substances linked to health risks.
