Donald Trump’s victory is raising new questions about how Robert F. Kennedy Jr. could influence his next administration on environmental issues, from chemicals to drinking water.
Trump doubled down Wednesday on allowing Kennedy to pursue his “Make America Healthy Again” agenda, which pledges to address chronic disease and “environmental degradation” by reducing harmful chemicals in food, as well as changing regulations for pharmaceuticals and pesticides.
“He wants to do some things, and we’re going to let him go do it,” Trump said during his victory speech in West Palm Beach, Florida, in the early hours of the morning.
“Go have a good time, Bobby,” Trump continued, cautioning that Kennedy must “stay away from the liquid gold,” in reference to oil and gas regulations.
