Analysis: Trump takes victory lap after biggest climate rollback yet
AI Summary
President Trump announced the rollback of a key Obama-era climate change policy, specifically revoking the 2009 "endangerment finding" that linked pollution to public health and environmental harm. This action, announced at the White House, effectively eliminates the legal basis for many US policies aimed at reducing emissions from various sources. Trump framed the move as a victory against the Democratic Party's environmental agenda, arguing it would lower energy costs and benefit industries like the auto sector by ending electric vehicle mandates. The administration, including the EPA administrator, views the 2009 ruling as an overreaching regulation. This marks a significant reversal of American climate policy and fulfills Trump's long-standing goal of dismantling policies designed to curb emissions.
