🌍✨ Most Utahns want to protect their national monuments. Trump had other plans.

Why we’re watching: A majority of Utah’s residents opposed shrinking Bears Ears National Monument before President Donald Trump drastically slashed its size last week, according to multiple polls conducted over the past few years.

Those findings contrast with statements from Utah’s political leaders who argued that the cuts reflected what Utahns want. 💚

President Donald Trump signed two executive orders shrinking Grand Staircase-Escalante and Bears Ears national monuments by roughly 90 percent each.
