The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Trump administration is moving to dismantle environmental oversight. The agency head announced plans to scrap emissions regulations, arguing the EPA lacks the authority to enforce them. This announcement occurred during a visit to a truck factory, signaling a shift towards prioritizing industry interests over environmental protection. Critics argue the move will lead to increased pollution and harm public health.
