Trump stated that the administrator intends to cut around 65% of the employees in the environmental sector and also aims to expedite the process.
This decision to significantly downsize the EPA's workforce raises concerns and questions about the impact it may have on the agency's ability to fulfill its environmental protection responsibilities effectively. The EPA plays a crucial role in safeguarding the nation's environment, regulating pollution, and enforcing environmental laws.
