Former President Donald Trump’s policies helped improve the environment, his former Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) administrator said over the weekend.

“All the environmental indicators under President Trump improved. Our air today is 7 percent cleaner than it was when President Trump took office. Our water quality is the highest it’s ever been. On the Superfund side, we got more sites cleaned up than in a generation,” Andrew Wheeler, who headed the agency, told The Epoch Times at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Florida.
