Biden uses 72-year-old law to give Trump a slap in the face before MAGA 2.0
The White House move could create a roadblock to one of President-elect Trump’s major plans.
Summary
President Joe Biden invoked the 1953 Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act to protect 625 million acres of U.S. offshore waters from future oil and gas drilling, blocking areas along the East and West coasts, Eastern Gulf of Mexico, and Alaska's North Bering Sea.
The move aims to prevent environmental damage and hinder Donald Trump’s plans to expand fossil fuel production upon returning to office.
Trump allies and the oil industry criticized the decision as politically motivated, while Biden emphasized bipartisan support for protecting coastal regions.

72 year old law doesn't sound as archaic when it's used by octogenrians. Isn't that well within their repetuar?
