TRUMP WATCH

摘要

President Donald Trump guts the National Environmental Policy Act, a bedrock environmental law. Declaring a pandemic "economic emergency," he also waives enforcement of the Endangered Species Act and other key environmental laws. More US coal capacity has been retired under Donald Trump than in Barack Obama's entire second term. The Department of Energy offers $122 million for the development of "novel uses of coal." In Sierra Club v. Trump, the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit finds that Trump's attempt to circumvent Congress and use $2.5 billion in military funds to build his border wall was unlawful.
