Trump Administration Moves to Terminate $20 Billion in Climate Grants

In a controversial decision, the Trump administration has terminated $20 billion in climate grants originally allocated by the Biden administration. This action by the EPA has stirred significant backlash from climate groups, leading to multiple lawsuits against the EPA and Citibank over frozen funds. Critics argue that the termination is a politically motivated move disguised as a response to concerns over fraud and misuse. Meanwhile, the Trump administration is facing scrutiny over its investigation efforts, as major climate groups could be criminally charged. As legal battles unfold, questions remain about the impact on ongoing climate initiatives and the future of green funding.
