President Donald Trump said his administration is terminating a Biden-era rule aimed at cutting planet-warming methane emissions from oil and gas drilling, according to NPR National. The announcement was reported on October 28, 2026, and marks a reversal of federal limits on one of the most potent greenhouse gases. The Biden-era rule was designed to reduce methane leaks from oil and gas operations. Trump's decision to end it signals a continued push to loosen environmental restrictions on the fossil fuel industry. Further details on how the termination will be carried out were not included in the initial report.
