Trump's progress report: his impact so far and what to watch for next year What may be America’s strangest presidency ever has been a radical departure – in tone if not in substance – not least over race, the media and the environment.
"Trump has taken a buzzsaw to Barack Obama’s environmental legacy, most obviously by announcing that America would withdraw from the Paris climate agreement; with Nicaragua and Syria recently signing up, the US is now the only country to stand outside it. The president has also declared an end to the so-called “war on coal”, lifted the ban on mining companies dumping waste in rivers and streams, approved the Keystone XL pipeline, cancelled a rule that would have helped prevent endangered whales and sea turtles from becoming entangled in fishing nets and drastically shrunk two national monuments in Utah".
