HHS made the announcement in a joint release with the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Agriculture.

President Donald Trump last week moved to ensure the domestic supply of phosphorus and glyphosate, a widely used weed-killer at the center of tens of thousands of lawsuits by plaintiffs claiming it causes cancer.

The move dismayed activists from the politically influential pro-Trump Make America Healthy Again movement, which opposes the widespread use of glyphosate due to health concerns.
