BAYER AG-REG's Monsanto unit urged a Missouri judge on Monday afternoon to approve a $7.25B settlement resolving lawsuits over its Roundup weedkiller. The proposed class action attempts to settle nearly all existing and future cancer claims across the United States. The litigation has weighed on the Germany-based parent company since its 2018 acquisition of Monsanto.
