US leader will repeal the regulations based on the fight against climate change this Thursday
On Thursday, President D. Trump will join EPA head Lee Zeldin to officially repeal an environmental decision made by former President Barack Obama's administration in 2009.
This Thursday, U.S. President D. Trump is set to repeal significant climate change regulations established during former President Barack Obama's tenure in 2009. During a press conference, K. Leavitt, associated with the EPA, announced the move and highlighted its potential to mark the largest deregulation effort in American history. The repeal is framed as a financial boon, expected to save Americans approximately $1.3 trillion that would have been allocated to stringent environmental regulations.
The announcement emerges amid an ongoing debate in the U.S. regarding environmental policy and the government's role in combating climate change. The decision reflects a broader political stance prioritizing economic benefits over regulatory measures aimed at protecting the environment. Critics have expressed concern that dismantling these regulations could have long-term detrimental effects on climate change efforts and public health, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a balance between economic growth and environmental sustainability.
As the U.S. moves forward with this deregulatory action, it will likely influence discussions at both national and international levels about environmental responsibility and climate agreements. By stepping back from commitments made in previous administrations, the Trump administration positions itself against a worldwide trend of increasing regulatory measures aimed at addressing climate change, potentially impacting the U.S.'s standing in global environmental negotiations.
