Trump Appoints Climate Skeptic Lee Zeldin as New EPA Chief

President-elect Trump has nominated former Rep. Lee Zeldin to lead the Environmental Protection Agency. Zeldin, a strong Trump ally with limited environmental policy experience, has received mixed reactions. While his nomination is supported by some Republicans, environmental groups express concern over potential policy rollbacks. Zeldin's past includes defending Trump during impeachment and opposing the 2017 tax bill. His environmental stance aligns with Trump's, including skepticism about the Paris Climate Agreement. Despite criticism, some environmentalists are withholding judgment until Zeldin's confirmation process.
