Employees at a Kansas factory are voicing fear and anger after President Donald Trump placed their company in the crosshairs amid his escalating trade war with Canada. The president threatened last week to ban sales from the Quebec-based jet manufacturer Bombardier, calling the company's products not "good enough," and workers at its U.S. headquarters in Wichita expressed anxiety about their job security, according to The Washington Post. "This is ridiculous," said an employee. "We have thousands of Americans working here, and I don't want to be thinking about losing my job." "I'm scared about what this might mean for my job and my family," added one longtime engineer. Sedgwick County Commissioner Jim Howell, a Republican who once worked in Bombardier's Wichita flight-test operations, warned a ban would be "devastating" to the company and a "huge loss" for the region.
The Environmental Protection Agency is expected to repeal rules that limit planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions from power plants fueled by coal and natural gas, an action that Administrator Lee Zeldin has said would remove billions of dollars in costs for the industry and help "unleash" American energy. The rule change, proposed last year, could be announced as soon as Monday, according to two people familiar with the proposal, and represents a fundamental shift from efforts by Democratic Presidents Joe Biden and Barack Obama to address climate change and clean up industrial pollution, often in low-income and majority Black or Hispanic communities. The rule, which is expected to face immediate legal challenges, also could prevent future administrations from regulating greenhouse gas emissions from power plants, the people familiar with the proposal said.
