Trump administration strips pollution safeguards from drinking water sources

• Rollback of clean water protections for streams and wetlands
• Obama-era rules have long been targeted by Trump

The Trump administration has completed its rollback of environmental protections for streams, wetland and other bodies of water, a process that has stripped pollution safeguards from drinking water sources used by around a third of all Americans.

Clean water protections strengthened under the Obama administration have long been targeted by Donald Trump, who has called it a "very destructive and horrible rule".
