April 16, 2025
Administrator Lee Zeldin said his commitment to protecting the environment will be under his Powering the Great American Comeback initiative.

On April 11, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) shared a video from Administrator Lee Zeldin which highlights "EPA’s mission, its statutory obligations, and the work the agency does to protect human health and the environment for Americans across the nation."

Administrator Zeldin affirmed his commitment to protecting our environment and growing the economy under his Powering the Great American Comeback initiative. "The EPA will continue to ensure clean air, land, and water for every American, while simultaneously driving economic growth by unleashing energy dominance, pursuing permitting reform, making the U.S. the AI Capital of the world, and bringing back American auto jobs," the statement said.

It should be noted that on February 26 Zeldin said that the agency will see a 65% reduction in workforce. That was clarified on Feb. 27 when President Trump said the workforce cuts will continue alongside spending cuts, according to Reuters.
