Trump administration “allows coal plants to emit more toxic mercury into the air…
in its latest move to unpick US climate regulations and promote fossil fuels.”

Well, because this sort of thing is up to Congress, not the president. Congress needs to create laws to restrict it, and absent that, they haven't given the president the authority to stop it.
Trump's people are happy to obey the law when it suits them and ignore it when it doesn't.
This is a case of them actually obeying the limits of presidential authority.
@racingdaily absolutely.
And because we elected and reelected ineffective people to Congress, he won't be removed. So yeah, this is the unfortunate result of our voting.
Yay democracy.
