The Biden administration’s decision on Wednesday to cancel Trump-era oil
leases in Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is fueling criticism
from both sides of the aisle and comes at a complicated political moment
for President Joe Biden. POLITICO’s Ben Lefebvre breaks down the
strategy behind the decision, if it impacts America’s oil production,
and how environmentalists and the administration’s opponents are
reacting. Plus, the Biden administration's new rule vastly curtailing
the scope of federal clean water protections is set to take effect
today.
