President-elect Trump has proposed to expedite environmental approvals for investments over $1 billion, alarming advocacy groups who see it as undermining environmental protections.
Mahyar Sorour from the Sierra Club criticized Trump's plan, stating it indicates a willingness to sacrifice community wellbeing for the benefit of corporate donors.
Trump’s proposal comes at a time when longstanding environmental laws mandate thorough permits and studies, challenging the feasibility of his expedited approval system.
During his first presidency, Trump rolled back around 112 environmental regulations, which raises concerns on how he will navigate these laws with new proposals.
