Trump administration will repeal major greenhouse gas regulations this week
Newsy
This week the Trump administration is set to repeal the Environmental Protection Agency's endangerment finding, its main legal basis for regulating greenhouse emissions.
The Environmental Protection Agency this week plans to repeal a key legal finding and regulatory framework that currently says greenhouse gases are responsible for global warming and threats to human health.
"On Thursday, President Trump will be joined by Administrator Lee Zeldin to formalize the rescission of the 2009 Obama-era endangerment finding,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed on Tuesday.
“This will be the largest deregulatory action in American history, and it will save the American people $1.3 trillion in crushing regulations.”

The Trump administration first proposed the rule change in July of 2025. It would repeal the EPA's current legal support for regulations on vehicles, energy generation and other sources of greenhouse gas emissions.
