Trump Pledges Fast-Track Permits for $1B U.S. Investors Amid Regulatory Challenges

President-elect Donald Trump has announced plans to expedite environmental and other regulatory approvals for companies investing $1 billion or more in the U.S., though details on bypassing traditional processes remain unclear. This move aligns with Trump's broader agenda to boost domestic oil and gas production and reduce regulatory barriers, despite criticism from environmental groups and experts who warn of potential setbacks to public health and climate progress.
