Trump Administration Recombines Split Federal Agencies
🌍 Environment · Second Term (2025–present) · 🤖 AI-categorized
The Trump administration is recombining two federal agencies that were separated following the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill. This action reverses post-spill safety and environmental oversight reforms by merging agencies responsible for offshore drilling regulation. The move reduces environmental protections and safety oversight for offshore oil drilling operations in U.S. waters.
