Another Departure in Trump's Administration: FDA Commissioner Steps Down
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
Dr. Marty Makary has resigned as commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), marking the fourth high-profile exit from President Donald Trump's administration this year, according to two individuals familiar with the decision. The news comes days after NBC News reported that President Trump was considering removing Makary amid months of dissatisfaction with some of his work at the FDA. This information was initially reported by Politico. Last Tuesday, the FDA announced that it had authorized the sale of fruit-flavored vapes for adults in the United States, following months of pressure from the industry and the president himself. Restoring the availability of fruit-flavored vapes and e-cigarettes was a key campaign promise made by Trump in 2024.
