Washington, D.C. – July 17, 2025) President Trump signed a series of proclamations this evening that seek to exempt some of the nation’s most dangerous industrial facilities and coal plants from pollution laws – effectively giving them a free pass to put more cancer-causing and toxic substances into our air.

“President Trump’s callous and dangerous actions would let some of the country’s worst industrial polluters evade compliance with the safeguards that protect Americans from toxic air pollution,” said Vickie Patton, General Counsel for Environmental Defense Fund. “These proclamations put millions of people in harm’s way. They would increase cancer risk and mean more suffering for people – children and adults – in communities across the country. We will vigorously oppose these indefensible and deeply damaging actions.”
