(Reuters) -The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has told staff to stop enforcing violations against fossil fuel companies, CNN reported on Monday, citing multiple sources.
Reuters could not immediately confirm the report.
“While the last administration targeted the oil and gas industry and crippled the American worker to serve their climate zealotry, the Trump EPA’s enforcement work is firmly rooted in the rule of law,” an EPA spokesperson said, calling CNN’s story “fake news narrative”.
