International watchdogs are keeping an eye on reactions from the United States, which in recent years has worked to intervene in other countries&#8217; decision-making over toxic pesticides. The government\u2019s announcement cites the Precautionary Principle as part of its decision-making.

Since 2015, several more publications have added weight to glyphosate\u2019s link to cancer.
