"Trump Administration Scores Major Victory on Pesticide Approval, But Allies May Feel the Sting. In a move that has sparked both celebration and controversy, the Trump administration is set to make a crucial decision on Thursday that paves the way for the approval of a contentious new pesticide. The decision, a major victory for the administration, is expected to greenlight the use of a powerful new chemical, despite concerns from environmental groups and some of America's closest allies that it could have devastating consequences for wildlife and human health. However, this victory may come at a cost, as it could further strain relations with nations that have been pushing for stricter regulations on pesticide use."


The decision Thursday is a victory for the Trump administration but could complicate relations with allies who want to limit pesticide use.
