President Trump on Monday evening blasted CNN’s Kaitlan Collins after he signed Proclamations modifying two Utah national monuments, the Bears Ears National Monument and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument.
“The Proclamations reduce these monuments to appropriate sizes that allow for common sense land use in these areas,” the White House said.
Trump’s executive orders reversed Joe Biden’s expansion of Bears Ears:
– One Proclamation reduces the size of the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument from approximately 1.87 million acres to approximately 181,500 acres.
– Another Proclamation reduces the size of the Bears Ears National Monument from approximately 1.36 million acres to approximately 121,100 acres.
– The specific landmarks, structures, and objects of historic and scientific interest that the Antiquities Act and monuments safeguard will continue to be protected, while the surrounding lands not relevant to such protected landmarks, structures, and objects will now be available for multiple-use, sustained-yield management.
Reporters asked President Trump questions after he signed the executive orders.
CNN’s Kaitlan Collins asked President Trump who is going to reimburse the United States after he said America was “going to get paid for guarding” the Strait of Hormuz.
Trump went off on Kaitlan Collins and called CNN ‘fake news.’
“You read fake news like you network, CNN…the fake news would rather us lose the war, which is really treasonous!” Trump said.
“We’re doing a major attack tonight…for 47 years, nobody’s hit them militarily. We’re hitting them very hard. Thank you very much!” Trump said as he kicked the press out of the room.
