New coalition fights Trump’s efforts to weaken protections for historic sites

A coalition of preservation groups is rallying against Trump's attempts to overhaul protections for historic sites, claiming these efforts represent the most significant threat in six decades to federal laws safeguarding these landmarks. The groups argue that Trump's moves, spanning regulatory, legislative, and executive actions, could dismantle longstanding safeguards that prevent harm to historic sites. This push highlights the broader implications for cultural heritage and the potential for increased development pressure on historically significant locations. The coalition's efforts underscore the ongoing battle to preserve national heritage against political changes.
