President Donald Trump has spent more than 18 months demolishing Joe Biden’s expansive green agenda.
Yet pieces of the former president’s would-be legacy stubbornly cling to life — along with roughly $600 billion in congressionally approved spending that has so far escaped Trump’s wrecking ball, a new POLITICO analysis has found.
The breakdown sheds fresh light on one of the most endlessly repeated pledges of Trump’s second term: his vow to unravel the nearly $1.6 trillion in spending and tax breaks that Biden had set in motion for a sprawling array of climate, clean energy and infrastructure programs.
Trump and GOP lawmakers made good on a huge chunk of that pledge by wiping out more than $540 billion in Biden-era tax incentives for electric cars, wind and solar power and other climate-friendly technology.
