Trump cancels climate emergency: Obama’s pollution plan revoked

Donald Trump has officially revoked a climate emergency plan initiated by Barack Obama in 2009 aimed at regulating greenhouse gas emissions and combating climate change.

In a significant policy reversal, President Donald Trump has declared the end of the climate emergency in the United States by signing away the comprehensive environmental plan established by his predecessor, Barack Obama, in 2009. This plan had sought to impose stringent regulations on greenhouse gas emissions across various sectors, particularly targeting the automotive industry to mitigate the impacts of climate change. Trump’s administration has argued that the existing regulations stifled economic growth and imposed excessive burdens on businesses.
