The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is eyeing downsizing by more than 1,000 employees, many of whom were hired by the Biden administration to work on climate change, air pollution and environmental regulation programs.


The Trump administration is reportedly planning to significantly reduce the workforce at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), targeting over 1,000 employees who were hired during the Biden administration to support its renewable energy initiatives. This move is part of a broader effort to dismantle what Trump and his allies view as an overreach by the previous administration in promoting green energy policies. The proposed cuts would affect various programs aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions, promoting electric vehicles, and enhancing energy efficiency. Critics argue that these layoffs could undermine the U.S.'s progress towards its climate goals and weaken environmental protections. The plan has sparked concerns among environmental groups and some lawmakers about the future of environmental policy in the U.S. under Trump's potential second term.
