Trump reduces size of 2 national monuments in Utah as Republicans reshape land management

President Donald Trump reduced the size of Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante national monuments in Utah by about 90% each, using the Antiquities Act. The move reverses protections under previous leaders, faces opposition from tribal groups, and aligns with state officials' push for development. Tribal leaders criticized the action for bypassing consultation.
