Trump administration's ESA rollback blocked

An attempt by the Trump administration to significantly weaken the Endangered Species Act (ESA) has encountered a major obstacle. A planned House vote that would have effectively defanged the critical environmental protection law was unexpectedly canceled. This cancellation represents a significant setback for the administration's deregulation agenda concerning environmental protections. Conservation groups and environmental advocates are likely to view this development as a victory, preserving the ESA's authority for the time being.
