Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s war on pesticides is alarming White House and federal agency officials, according toThe Wall Street Journal.
Top aides are reportedly on edge ahead of an expected May 22 report to “Make America Healthy Again” from Kennedy, who was confirmed in January as President Donald Trump’s pick for secretary of health and human services.
People familiar with the matter told the Journal that the report will spotlight what Kennedy believes is the “deleterious impact of pesticides” on health. Targets include glyphosate—the active ingredient in Roundup, the world’s most widely used weedkiller—and atrazine, a herbicide commonly sprayed on corn and grasses.
