The U.S. Supreme Court will hear a case about the weedkiller Roundup, made by Bayer, which has been linked to cancer claims by thousands of people. The case will decide if pesticide companies can be protected from lawsuits that say they failed to warn about health risks when the EPA does not require such warnings.
Key Facts
Tens of thousands of people have sued Bayer, claiming Roundup caused their cancer, specifically non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Monsanto, the original maker of Roundup, was bought by Bayer in 2018.
Bayer offered a $7.25 billion settlement to resolve many of these lawsuits.
The EPA says glyphosate, Roundup’s main ingredient, is safe when used as directed and unlikely to cause cancer.
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) says glyphosate is “probably carcinogenic” based on independent studies.
Glyphosate has been found in most U.S. streams and rivers, showing it is widespread in the environment.
President Donald Trump signed an order to increase the use and supply of glyphosate products as part of an “America-first” plan.
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. opposes glyphosate and supports the “Make America Healthy Again” campaign, which calls for reducing pesticide use.

Police are examining evidence about nearly £40,000 donated to Robert Jenrick’s campaign to lead the Conservative Party in 2024. The donations may have come from a US businessman, which could break UK election rules banning foreign donations.
Key Facts
Police received a referral from the Electoral Commission on January 6, 2026, about donations linked to a political leadership campaign.
About £37,500 of the £100,000 donated by a UK company called The Spott Fitness is alleged to have come from a US businessman, Gary Klopfenstein, through his US company Innovyz USA.
UK election law forbids foreign individuals or companies from donating to UK politicians or parties.
The Electoral Commission has paused its investigation while police review the evidence.
Robert Jenrick, now a Reform UK politician, says he and his campaign followed all laws and that he did not know about any foreign connection to the donations.
Jenrick said he has never met or contacted Gary Klopfenstein and only learned of the allegations through the Electoral Commission inquiry.
Phillip Ullman, who was originally thought to be the donor behind The Spott Fitness, claims he was transparent and provided information to the Electoral Commission.
The Conservative Party referred Jenrick to the parliamentary commissioner for standards amid the donation questions.
