News when you want it with Bloomberg News Now. I'm Monica Ricks. We are following breaking news out of Washington right now where the Supreme Court has just agreed to hear an appeal from global agrochemical manufacturer Bayer. It's looking to block thousands of state lawsuits that claim it failed to warn people that its popular weed killer could cause cancer. The justices will consider whether the Environmental Protection Agency's approval of the Roundup weed killer without a cancer warning should rule out state court claims. Now, we should note the Trump administration has weighed in on Bayer's behalf, reversing the Biden administration's position and putting it at odds with some supporters of the Make America Healthy Again agenda, who oppose giving the company the legal immunity it seeks.

Some studies associate Roundup's key ingredient glyphosate with cancer, although the EPA has said it's not likely to be carcinogenic to humans when used as directed. And that's news when you want it with Bloomberg News Now. I'm Monica Ricks and this is Bloomberg.
