Donald Trump has chosen Ed Russo, a former environmental consultant, to head the White House's new Environmental Advisory Task Force.
In his announcement on Truth Social, Trump emphasized the focus on job creation and maintaining clean air and water.
Russo, who previously praised Trump as an “environmental hero,” authored a book on the subject and had declined a similar role in the first administration.
Despite this appointment, Trump has a history of dismissing climate change and retracting significant environmental protections during his presidency.
The incoming EPA head, Lee Zeldin, notably has a low environmental voting record, raising concerns among environmental advocates.
