The Trump administration is moving to repeal an Obama-era regulation that allowed for federal regulation of greenhouse gas emissions, which is viewed as a significant setback in U.S. climate policy.
The Trump administration is set to take a bold step in environmental policy by repealing the Endangerment Finding established under President Obama in 2009. This finding was critical as it provided the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) with the authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions, which are a significant contributor to climate change. The move, announced by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, is expected to be finalized in a ceremony with President Trump and EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin, emphasizing the administration's commitment to deregulation.
