The head of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on Thursday acknowledged there’s a “lack of trust” in the Biden administration as he visited the site of an Ohio train derailment where toxic chemicals were spilled or burned off and where residents fear for the safety of their air and drinking water.

EPA Administrator Michael Regan on Thursday traveled to the town of East Palestine, where he walked along a creek that still reeks of chemicals after the Feb. 3 derailment that caused a fire and sent a cloud of smoke over the town.
