Trump environmental rollbacks would boost pollution and endanger lives, former EPA heads say

Former EPA head Lee Zeldin praised the Trump administration's new deregulation efforts, describing them as "the greatest day of deregulation our nation has seen" and aimed at reducing living costs and boosting the auto industry.
Bill Weir from CNN corrected his earlier assumption regarding a new EPA regulation related to emissions and pollution restrictions, acknowledging the potential for increased pollution.
The Trump administration is set to reverse several environmental regulations enacted during the Biden administration as part of a strategy to lower costs for consumers.
Zeldin emphasized that 31 regulatory rollbacks would help enhance American energy independence and provide more power to states.
