Trump says he ‘will not approve wind turbines’ despite support for permitting reform bill
President Trump said on 9 November 2026 that he "will not approve wind turbines," calling them "a major loser," even as he said he is "behind" the bipartisan Senate permitting bill "100 percent." Senator Sheldon Whitehouse said Democrats had assurances renewables would be treated better, though it was unclear what Trump's remarks meant for the bill's upcoming procedural vote.
