Here's a list of many of the major environmental rollbacks the Trump administration has attempted to undertake
Washington President Donald Trump has repeatedly vowed to"ensure" that the United States has the"cleanest air" and the"cleanest water," but his administration's efforts to slash environmental regulations have been extensive.
In Trump's first two years in office, the Environmental Protection Agency's rate of deregulation was so high that an internal watchdog has said the agency"exceeded" its self-established goals. And in the third year of his presidency, agencies, not just the EPA, have continued the environmental regulation rollbacks. His administration has even moved to rollback some protections established under the 50-year-old Clean Air Act.

But this week, in a concession, the administration proposed an increase of 1.5% per year from 2021 through 2026, according to Democratic Sen. Tom Carper's office, which sent a letter to the administration about it.
