Trump’s split-screen environmental strategy

This week, the Trump administration offered a striking contrast in its environmental agenda — blasting Maryland leaders over an ecological disaster at home while successfully pushing the International Energy Agency to remove climate change as a top priority abroad. POLITICO’s Miranda Willson and Sara Schonhardt break down what this split-screen approach reveals about the Trump administration’s priorities and its implications for the United States and world. Plus, the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee will take up three of President Donald Trump’s energy nominees next Wednesday. Miranda Willson covers water and the environment for POLITICO.
