Administrator Zeldin Attends National Energy Dominance Council Forum in Tokyo, Japan
Administrator Zeldin is currently in Tokyo, Japan, alongside Interior Secretary Doug Burgum to participate in and cohost the Indo-Pacific Energy Security Ministerial and Business Forum (IPEM) as part of President Trump’s National Energy Dominance Council. Administrator Zeldin is participating in extensive meetings with several nations to advance our nation’s strategic partnerships on energy, critical minerals, rare earths, and much more with our allies in the Indo-Pacific. On Thursday, Administrator Zeldin joined Greg Kelly Reports on Newsmax to discuss how EPA and other federal agencies are working together in a whole-of-government approach to reduce America’s reliance on foreign adversaries to fulfill energy needs and to export more of our energy produced right here in the United States. Watch the full interview here.
In Visit to Asia, EPA Advances Strategic Engagements with International Partners
The advancement of US-Japan partnerships have been hitting overdrive. In Tokyo, Administrator Zeldin and other cabinet officials discussed the U.S. approach to unleash American energy, strengthen grid reliability, bolster America’s resiliency, and make life more affordable so families can heat their homes and fuel their vehicles. Instead of seeking to eliminate entire sectors of our economy, the U.S is now working to increase the supply of power plants and natural gas pipelines that produce reliable and durable sources of baseload power. The Trump Administration’s leading efforts to streamline permitting reform and eliminate crippling regulations have increased energy independence and improved regulatory certainty for the U.S. economy. In a key pillar of EPA’s Powering the Great American Comeback, the agency is working with our international partners to promote commonsense energy policies.

The Potomac Interceptor is Fixed After EPA Worked Closely with DC Water and Federal Partners to Meet Ambitious Deadline
The federal government pledged to get the Potomac Interceptor fixed by Mid-March, and we got it done. Led by Senior Response Officer Jess Kramer, EPA has been on the ground these last few weeks alongside our federal partners working with DC Water and making incredible progress. On Saturday, less than a month after DC Mayor Bowser’s formal request to President Trump for federal assistance, it was announced that all repairs to the Potomac Interceptor had been fixed. EPA’s next mission will be to complete environmental remediation work on the site in time for America 250 celebrations.
