71 MPs urge the French government to reject the deregulation of GMOs derived from new genomic techniques (NGTs). They call for the government to defend "a strict European framework for health, environmental and democratic protection." https://infogm.org/en/71-meps-urge-the-french-government-to-reject-the-deregulation-of-gmos-derived-from-new-genomic-techniques/

Bayer is the sole US supplier of the white phosphorus involved in these war crimes. And Trump is protecting Bayer and boosting its white phosphorus production, along with its production of #glyphosate, which incidentally Israel is also using as a weapon of war.

Israel's poisoning southern Lebanon with toxic chemicals, reports AJ+ … @hrw.org found evidence Israel was using white phosphorus in residential areas. And Israeli planes have been spraying glyphosate, a cancer-linked herbicide on farmland. (Bayer sole US white phosphorus producer. Israel's white phosphorus munitions have repeatedly been found to be US-supplied) https://www.reddit.com/r/Panarab/comments/1rq37d7/israel_is_poisoning_lebanon_with_toxic_chemicals/?rdt=59275

New Study Finds Gene Editing Disrupts Multiple Gene Functions. The findings apply to all types of gene editing, providing compelling evidence that moves to deregulate gene-edited organisms (new GMOs) are misguided https://biosafety-info.net/articles/biosafety-science/emerging-trends-techniques/new-study-finds-gene-editing-disrupts-multiple-gene-functions/

This is not to say Trump wasn't minded to do massive favours for #Bayer anyway—as the Trump administration urging the Supreme Court to give Bayer legal immunity shows—but that the part Bayer plays in producing weapons for the US/Israeli war machine has given them important extra leverage.

What Trump’s doing isn’t just about spurring the domestic production of #glyphosate: “The Defense Production Act provides a pathway for companies to be shielded from certain liability suits”, as the New York Times notes. In other words, giving Bayer the kind of legal immunity it’s been begging for.

Trump’s #glyphosate executive order a ‘big middle finger to every MAHA mom’. ‘First President Trump sided with Bayer/Monsanto on glyphosate at the Supreme Court, and now he’s elevating it through the Defense Department.’ https://www.ewg.org/news-insights/news-release/2026/02/ewg-trumps-glyphosate-executive-order-big-middle-finger-every

Farmers’ groups, scarred by decades of agrarian distress, view AI-driven ag as the next corporate Trojan horse. Andhra has experimented with zero-budget natural farming under the previous YSRCP regime; tech-heavy models from Seattle feel like a reversal favoring multinationals.

Kathomi described the introduction of GMOs as “food colonisation” and accused the government of forcing GMOs on Kenyans instead of supporting indigenous seeds. “You legalise GMOs and simultaneously list the Kenya Seed Company for privatisation, what are you doing to the Kenyan people?”
