Trump reverses Biden-era ban on mining near the Boundary Waters
Published 1 month, 1 week ago
Description
President Trump lifted a twenty-year ban on mining near the Boundary Waters this week, just three years after the Biden Administration put it in place.
The issue of mining in the region has been a political football for years, according to Minnesota Public Radio correspondent Dan Kraker. He told our News Producer Faye Parks this afternoon that the fight isn’t over – and there’s still room for a moratorium on the state level.
