Trump signed an executive order about glyphosate, and I don't know if it will lead to immunity for manufacturers.

Promoting the National Defense by Ensuring an Adequate Supply of Elemental Phosphorus and Glyphosate-Based Herbicides

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including the Defense Production Act of 1950, Every child deserves a safe and nurturing home where they can learn, grow, and reach their full potential. Adoption makes that possible by...

I’m not saying I like it… but RFK Jr who has long been an advocate of tying to get rid of Glysophate, said this recently:If we banned Glyphosate outright in the U.S.,it would put 80% of our farmers out of business — Sadly, “we are dependent on something that we know makes us sick.”He also recognized this is making a lot of people sick, especially farmers… BUT, RFK JR says we can now see the light at the end of the tunnel by totally ELIMINATING Pesticides and Herbicides from our food supply with laser technology that can kill both bugs and weeds. The only obstacle is making it affordable for farmers. In my mind, I think why do we need it at all? The answers I find is a mix that points to the scale of food we produce makes it very difficult. It truly sucks… Ultimately, I believe this needs to be, and probably will be PHASED OUT over time.It is a good sign that he as the HHS Secretary recognizes these things publicly. It is an even better sign he says we have a solution. It just needs to happen faster.

Let's be accurate about Trump's EO regarding phosphorus and glyphosate-based herbicides.

The only legal immunity provided by this EO is immunity to companies yet to be specifically determined from being sued for failure to satisfy other contracts while complying with this order. It isn't giving anybody legal immunity for causing cancer.

This EO is all about farmer's costs and food prices.

Farmers have said the president’s tariffs on imported herbicides and fertilizers are driving up the cost of crops. There is only one domestic producer of elemental phosphorus and glyphosate-based herbicides. This will help keep those costs down and therefore keep our food prices down.

RFK Jr has successfully sued over the cancer causing effects of these elements. They understand the issues here better than anybody else, but they also understand the predicament we're in.

During a May 20 Senate Appropriations Committee hearing RFK Jr. stated “There’s a million farmers who rely on glyphosate. One hundred percent of corn in this country relies on glyphosate. We are not going to do anything to jeopardize that business model.”

Until there is a safer/cheaper alternative, I'm not sure what you expect Trump to do here and why this would be something to cause anybody to stop supporting him.
