"Trump Teases Plan To Roll Back Key Obama-Era Water Rule"

"President Trump announced his administration's plan for a major rollback to an Obama-era water rule on Sunday, a move the White House believes could pay dividends with the farm vote in this year's presidential election.

Speaking to the crowd at the American Farm Bureau Federation conference in Austin, Texas, Trump said he would be scaling back the scope of waters that farmers, manufacturers and other industries must ensure are in compliance with EPA guidelines.

"I am proud to announce that I am taking another step to protect the water rights of American farmers and ranchers," Trump told the room of Texas farmers."
