Washington D.C/ 21 January 2017. Donald J. Trump after been sworn in as the 45th president of the United States, the first post on the White House website suggests destroying the US’s strategy to tackle climate change.

The Climate Action Plan was landmark legislation introduced by Barack Obama in June 2013. It served as a “national plan for tackling climate change”, according to the government.

After President Trump took over the site, he posted six “Issues” to its home page. The first of those is an “America First Energy Plan”.

The first proposal in that document suggests getting rid of “burdensome regulations on our energy industry”. Those include getting rid of “harmful and unnecessary policies such as the Climate Action Plan and the Waters of the US rule”.

President Trump doesn’t suggest a replacement for any of those regulations and goes on to suggest that getting rid of them will save money and keep America secure.

It also says that Donald Trump will focus the Environmental Protection Agency onto “protecting our air and water”, and presumably away from climate policies.
