WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump’s move to lift bans on drilling for oil and gas in offshore Arctic and Atlantic areas is illegal, a US judge has ruled.
Trump’s effort to open more areas to drilling “is unlawful, as it exceeds the president’s authority,” Judge Sharon Gleason ruled.
As a result, bans on drilling in these areas “will remain in full force and effect unless and until revoked by Congress,” the Friday ruling said.
