MT Newswires Live
May 09

President Donald Trump has approved a plan to fire Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Marty Makary, the Wall Street Journal reported Friday, citing people familiar with the matter.

Trump has expressed his displeasure in recent days with Makary for taking too long to approve flavored vapes and nicotine pouches, the Journal reported earlier this week, citing people familiar with the matter.

Trump's decision is not final and could change, the report said.

The White House didn't immediately reply to a request for comment from MT Newswires.
