Shitstain Yanks US Out Of Plan For Salmon Recovery In PNW Because It's "Radical Environmentalism" Hurrdurr Hurrdurr [View all]

Donald Trump has pulled the US federal government from a historic agreement to recover the salmon population in the Pacific north-west, calling the plan “radical environmentalism”. A presidential memorandum issued by Trump on Thursday removes the US from a deal brokered by Joe Biden with Washington, Oregon and four Native American tribes to work to restore salmon populations and develop clean energy for tribes.

Tribes have for decades claimed that four hydroelectric dams on the north-west’s Snake River have depleted salmon populations. The government had committed to analyzing the impact of the dams.

That agreement has now been deleted by the US president, with the order stating that he “continues to prioritize our nation’s energy infrastructure and use of natural resources to lower the cost of living for all Americans over speculative climate change concerns”.

The region’s tribes condemned the decision. Gerald Lewis, the chair of the Yakama Tribal Council, said that Trump’s move “echoes the federal government’s historic pattern of broken promises to tribes, and is contrary to President Trump’s stated commitment to domestic energy development”.
