Today, Center for Food Safety (CFS) issued the following statement from George Kimbrell, Legal Director at Center for Food Safety<\/strong>, in response to the Trump administration\u2019s February 18, 2026 Executive Order<\/a> concerning glyphosate:<\/p>\n

\u201cThis Trump Executive Order follows a long pattern from the administration: sound and fury, ultimately signifying nothing. Executive orders do not have the force and effect of law without new authority from Congress and here cannot magically give Monsanto immunity for the harms of its toxic glyphosate products. In addition to being legally meritless, the EO is factually unmoored from reality. The Trump Administration has demonstrated no threat to the continued availability of glyphosate, and in any case there are literally hundreds of other herbicides available to farmers and others. This EO is a transparent attempt to influence the Supreme Court to grant glyphosate-maker Monsanto\/Bayer and other pesticide behemoths immunity from liability for the harms caused by their products. It also represents the Trump administration betraying MAHA yet again and a feeble attempt to divert attention from the disastrous effects of Trump tariffs on the farming community.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Background<\/strong><\/p>\n

For over twenty five years<\/a>, Center for Food Safety has worked to improve pesticide regulation<\/a> and build a better, more regenerative future of food. Among other landmark cases<\/a> on behalf of the public interest, a CFS lawsuit<\/a> resulting to a federal court in 2022 holding<\/a> that EPA\u2019s cancer safety findings for glyphosate were contrary to both the law and scientific standards, and striking them down<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
