Mr Biden is due to declare a national monument in an area sacred to Native American tribes and off limits to mining. Read more at straitstimes.com.
ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE - President Joe Biden will designate nearly 1 million acres of land near the Grand Canyon as a new national monument Tuesday to protect the area from uranium mining, administration officials confirmed Monday.
“The mining is off limits for future development in that area,” Mr Ali Zaidi, Biden’s national climate adviser, told reporters on Air Force One. “It’s focused on preserving the historical resources” in the area. Mr Biden’s visit to Arizona was also an effort to energise crucial constituency groups in the state, even as much of the American public remains sceptical of his domestic agenda.– major legislation he signed last year that aims to cut planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions – “the largest investment ever in clean energy.” Yet 71 per cent of Americans say they have heard “little” or “nothing at all” about the package one year later, according to a Washington Post-University of Maryland poll.
“We know that polls don’t tell the entire story,” Ms Karine Jean-Pierre, the White House press secretary, said Monday when asked about why voters seemingly do not know what is in Mr Biden’s Bills. As the administration continues to enact the various legislative packages, she said, “we’ll see Americans start to feel what we’ve been able to do in Washington.”
“It is likely a strategic decision to focus on the Grand Canyon,” said Dr Gabriel Sanchez, a fellow at the Brookings Institution who has researched voting trends among Native Americans. The administration has argued that the proposed monument represents only 1.3 per cent of the nation’s known uranium reserves.
