AB  - To many observers, President Trump’s administration is a real environmentalnightmare and represents a serious retrograde step for international cooperation onclimate change. As this study argues, however, his zealous anti-environmentaliststance is not something new in American environmental history and can beregarded as the continuation of anti-environmentalist dynamics in U.S. politicssince the 1980s. The study starts with a brief historical analysis of Americanenvironmentalism since the 1980s, then examines the battles on environmentalprotection and climate change during the Presidencies of Barack Obama andDonald Trump in order to shed light on the future direction of U.S. environmentalpolicy. Its focus is on climate change as the indicative and most encompassingissue of the day. The intention of the study, which covers the related discussionsuntil summer 2018, is to understand the background and rationale behind policyresponses rather than to comprehensively list individual policy decisions.
