Trump breaks historic Columbia River deal between U.S. government, tribes, NW states

https://share.newsbreak.com/djfzz2cg
"A “historic” deal made two years ago between the U.S. government, four tribes, Northwest states and environmentalists to put legal battles aside and invest in restoring endangered Columbia River fish runs is now off.

President Donald Trump on Thursday signed a presidential memorandum withdrawing the U.S. government from a Dec. 14, 2023 agreement to help restore salmon, steelhead and other native fish being decimated by federal hydroelectric dams in the Columbia River Basin. The memorandum refers to the commitments as “onerous,” “misguided” and as placing “concerns about climate change above the nation’s interests in reliable energy resources.”

It is beyond gratuitous at this point. If there is anything good or precious it must be obliterated.All in service to coal, oil and gas.
He should be lowered slowly into a coal fired power plant smoke stack with all units on line.
