Donald Trump promises to cut regulation on environmental issues
- 8 years ago
Donald Trump promised Thursday to scale back President Obama’s environmental regulations and called for faster development of U.S. energy resources in his most sweeping remarks on energy policy since entering the presidential race.
The speech included a laundry list of commitments to radically change the trajectory of federal energy and environmental policy.
Trump pledged to save the coal industry from decline at the hands of President Obama’s Clean Power Plan.
He promised that his policies would allow the U.S. to be completely energy independent.
He said he would “cancel” the Paris Agreement to address climate change that was adopted last year by more than 190 countries and stop funding of any international efforts to address global warming
