Trump To Claim US Is Environmental Leader Despite Ripping Up Protections

"Exclusive: On Monday president will likely tout America’s clean air and water, even though he’s rescinded rules to cut pollution"

"Donald Trump plans to go on the offensive against criticism of his industry-friendly rollbacks of environment protections in a speech on Monday, according to three sources familiar with the plans.

Trump will tout America’s clean air and water, although his administration has advanced many efforts that experts say have undercut the country’s environmental record.

As Democrats make the environment and the climate crisis key to their presidential campaigns, Republicans are feeling pressure from voters from across the political spectrum who worry about the planet and public health."
