YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe Supreme Court will hear arguments in a case centering around glyphosate, an herbicide widely used by American farmers. The primary domestic supplier of Roundup is Monsanto, a subsidiary of Germany's Bayer AG. There is some evidence that the chemical may cause cancer. But regulators in the U.S. and abroad have not limited the use of glyphosate. Researchers have found that 81% of Americans have recently been exposed to the chemical. President Trump's call to shore up the domestic supply drove a wedge between the White House and the health-conscious "MAHA" movement, spearheaded by HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. CNBC's Garrett Downs reports on how the fight over this chemical could shape the agriculture industry and the midterm election season.
