Lee Zeldin to Newsmax: Trump’s EPA Protects Environment, Economy
EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin said the Trump EPA canceled over $29 billion in grants and cut staff by nearly 4,000 to reduce bureaucracy and boost economic growth.
- On Friday, Lee Zeldin told Newsmax during its 'Trump 300' special that the first 300 days of President Donald Trump’s administration produced a sweeping overhaul of EPA policies protecting the environment while expanding the economy.
- Responding to what he described as Biden-era approaches, Lee Zeldin, EPA Administrator, said the Biden administration forced policies that 'strangulate the economy' and funneled tens of billions to environmental NGOs with former Biden and Obama officials and Democratic donors.
- Detailing the overhaul, Zeldin pointed to grant and personnel reductions, saying the Trump EPA canceled grants totaling over $29 billion and cut EPA staff from more than 16,000 in January to about 12,500 by the end of the year.
