## Resource

The initial months of the Trump administration have been marked by a flurry of executive orders and significant activity by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The US Food and Drug Administration is a key target of these efforts. In this episode of Connected With Latham , Washington, D.C. partners Chris Schott and Ben Haas and associate Danny Machado explore how FDA may be affected, particularly as it relates to novel tobacco and nicotine products, which can be a bellwether for approval and enforcement trends more generally.
