"The Trump administration is backing Monsanto in its effort to get the Supreme Court to shield it from liability over cancer claims related to its Roundup weedkiller, a move that could anger the Trump administration’s allies in the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement."

That description doesn't accurately capture what's going on in this case.

Federal law prevented Monsanto from including the warning on its label, but a state tried to preempt DC by requiring it, and that despite scientific consensus.

This isn't so much about shielding Monsanto from liability as it is about keeping states from undermining the EPA.
