Background
The order was issued amid concerns about limited domestic production capacity of elemental phosphorus and reliance on imports for materials used in defense technologies and agriculture.[1] It invokes the Defense Production Act to ensure an adequate domestic supply of elemental phosphorus and glyphosate-based herbicides.[3] The measure followed concerns about supply pressures in the United States, where domestic glyphosate production is limited and supplemented by imports of generic alternatives.[4] The order also directs federal authorities to prioritize and, if necessary, compel the production of glyphosate and related materials for national security purposes.[5]
