Readers respond: Trump’s myopia in ending Columbia Basin pact
- The Trump administration ended its participation in the agreement made in 2023 that temporarily halted legal battles and sought to restore salmon populations in the Pacific Northwest.
- This ruling terminated collaboration among multiple tribal nations and state governments, reigniting legal battles and hindering initiatives to dismantle dams that negatively affect salmon populations.
- Rising water temperatures and decades of declining salmon runs, worsened by dams violating treaty rights from the 1855 land cession, heighten the urgency for restoration.
- Daniel Cordalis emphasized that their rights and concerns extend nationwide, and stressed the importance of tribes being included, consulted, and properly represented in all related matters.
- The termination likely threatens salmon recovery, increases regional energy instability amid rising demand, and returns parties to prolonged conflicts over treaty and environmental rights.
