Briefings

A Trump administration official named Calley Means stated that corporate influence and funding are derailing the MAHA agenda, specifically citing glyphosate as a key issue. Means described an 'almost violent reaction' from industry groups against research, and recounted a White House official presenting a policy to boost glyphosate production which was rejected as 'not up for discussion.'

Key points

• Trump administration official Calley Means claimed top White House officials altered policies in response to industry influence and funding.
• Glyphosate, an herbicide, was identified as a major issue where industry pressure prevented research or restriction.

Context

This finding comes from a recording released by Joe Rogan where Means, a former White House health official, criticized the administration for bending to industry. The story highlights the conflict between public health goals and corporate funding, specifically regarding glyphosate.
