Trump nominates EPA leaders with ties to industry, deregulation

Former President Donald Trump has nominated new leaders for key U.S. Environmental Protection Agency divisions, all of whom served during his first term. The picks, including Jessica Kramer for the Office of Water and Aaron Szabo for the Office of Air, have faced criticism from environmental groups, who warn of potential rollbacks on pollution regulations. Tribal nations, which rely on strong EPA oversight to protect water and air quality on and near their lands, could be impacted by policy shifts under the new leadership.
