Washington, DC – Today, Donald Trump posted on Truth Social about a plan to bypass environmental reviews for “any person or company investing ONE BILLION DOLLARS, OR MORE, in the United States of America.” 

In response, Sierra Club Director of Beyond Fossil Fuels Policy Mahyar Sorour released the following statement: 

“Corporate polluters cannot bribe their way to endangering our communities and our clean air and water. Donald Trump’s plan to sell out the highest bidder confirms what we’ve long known about him: he’s happy to sacrifice the wellbeing of American communities for the benefit of his Big Oil campaign donors. We will keep fighting to defend our bedrock environmental protections and ensure they apply to everyone, not just those who can’t afford Trump’s bribe.”
