Trump climate health rollback may hit poor, minority areas hardest: Experts

In a stretch of Louisiana with about 170 fossil fuel and petrochemical plants, premature death is a fact of life for people living nearby. The air is so polluted and the cancer rates so high it is known as Cancer Alley. "Most adults in the area are attending two to three funerals per month," said Gary C Watson Jr, who was born and raised in St John the Baptist Parish, a majority Black community in Cancer Alley about 30 miles outside of New Orleans.

Applications filed by the Trump Organization with the federal trademark office are seeking exclusive rights to use the president's name on airports and dozens of related things found there, from buses shuttling passengers to umbrellas and travel bags to flight suits. The filings come amid debate in Florida over a state bill to name the Palm Beach airport after Trump and a dispute over funding of a tunnel between New York and New Jersey that is tied up with proposals that both it and Dulles International Airport in Virginia bear his name.
