Trump names former consultant who called him a ‘hero’ head of new environmental task force ‘Together, we will achieve American Energy DOMINANCE, rebuild our Economy, and DRILL, BABY, DRILL,’ Trump vowed as he announced his environmental pick.
Russo told E&E News in 2017 in an interview during Trump’s last administration that the then-president was a “staunch supporter of clean air and clean water,” though he noted that Trump has a ”practical approach to environmental protection,” which he didn’t detail.
President-elect Donald Trump has named a former consultant for his businesses who wrote a book calling Trump an “environmental hero” as the head of a new federal environmental task force.
“Together, we will achieve American Energy DOMINANCE, rebuild our Economy, and DRILL, BABY, DRILL,” he added, referring to his planned major boost of oil extraction in the nation.
Trump on Friday also announced that Bill Briggs will serve as deputy administrator of the U.S. Small Business Administration, which provides loans after disasters.
