Trump stated that Lee Zeldin's leadership at the EPA would lead to "fair and swift deregulatory decisions that will be enacted in a way to unleash the power of American businesses," while still ensuring high environmental standards.
Environmental groups criticized Zeldin's nomination, arguing that it represents a reversal of progress in environmental policy amid concerns about potential deregulation under his leadership.
Zeldin proclaimed the goals of restoring US energy dominance, revitalizing the auto industry, and becoming a global leader in AI while maintaining clean air and water access.
Ben Jealous of the Sierra Club called Zeldin "unqualified," emphasizing that his appointment could threaten the foundational objectives of the EPA and endanger public health.
