President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team is preparing several key executive actions, including steps to withdraw from the Paris climate agreement and shrink the size of national monuments, according to a report by The New York Times.
These moves align with Trump’s campaign promises to prioritize energy development and reduce federal environmental regulations.
Trump’s transition spokeswoman, Karoline Leavitt, emphasized that the election results give him a mandate to implement the policies he campaigned on. Meanwhile, the Biden administration had paused LNG export approvals earlier this year, pending an environmental and economic impact study, which is expected to be released for public comment by the end of 2024.
Some members of the transition team are also reportedly considering relocating the Environmental Protection Agency's headquarters out of Washington, D.C., as part of broader plans to reshape the agency's role and operations.
