White House says it will eliminate national monuments — then scrubs the announcement
by Rachel Frazin - 03/17/25 11:22 AM ET
The White House said Friday night that it would eliminate protections from millions of acres declared by former President Biden as national monuments — but later scrubbed that language from its fact sheet.
In a fact sheet on an executive order issued late Friday, the Trump administration said it was “terminating proclamations declaring nearly a million acres constitute new national monuments that lock up vast amounts of land from economic development and energy production.”
However, the executive order described by the fact sheet did not contain references to national monuments. By Monday, the language no longer appeared in the fact sheet.
Nevertheless, the White House told The Washington Post that it planned to eliminate two national monuments in California that were established by Biden at the end of his tenure.
