U.S. Interior Dept revokes Trump policies, puts climate at center of decisions
April 16 (Reuters) - The U.S. Interior Department on Friday sought to erase the Trump administration's "energy dominance" legacy by revoking a suite of policies and ordering that climate change be put at the forefront in agency decisions.
In a statement, the agency said Secretary Deb Haaland issued an order revoking 12 policies issued under Trump. They ranged from orders to review Obama-era policies that hindered energy development, rolling back a moratorium on coal leasing and an effort to expedite permitting of infrastructure on public lands.
