President Donald Trump has proposed slashing EPA’s budget in half as his administration rolls back environmental protections and shrinks government.
EPA would receive $4.2 billion in fiscal 2027, according to the White House budget request released Friday. That would be a $4.6 billion drop, or 52 percent cut, from the agency’s current funding.
EPA would carry out “its core mission and statutory responsibilities” as well as end “wasteful, radical Green New Scam spending” and “regulatory overreach,” the White House said in the fiscal blueprint.
