Carper Warns Pruitt Of 'Difficulty' For Trump EPA Nominees Due To CEQ Pick

摘要

Senate environment panel ranking member Tom Carper (D-DE) is warning EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt that key agency nominees will face "difficulties" moving forward as long as President Donald Trump continues pushing his controversial pick to run the White House Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ). Carper, a long-time critic of CEQ nominee Kathleen Hartnett White, appears to be ramping up his opposition to her selection over what he and others consider "extreme" views on climate change and other environmental risks.
