WASHINGTON — President Trump will issue a new executive order on Tuesday to relax Obama-era regulations on fossil fuels.

“It will bring back manufacturing jobs across the country, coal jobs across the country,” EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt told ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday. “Across the energy sector, we have so much opportunity.”

The “Energy Independence Executive Order” is designed to relax regulations on power plants, while the Trump administration will also review fuel efficiency standards for cars.

“This is about making sure that we have a pro-growth and pro-environment approach to how we do regulation in this country,” Pruitt said.

The newly confirmed Environmental Protection Agency head also blasted President Obama’s global climate change agreement in Paris as a “bad deal.”

“What was wrong with Paris was not just that it was, you know, failed to be treated as a treaty, but China and India, the largest producers of CO2 internationally, got away scot-free,” said Pruitt, who has been skeptical of climate change and the EPA’s mission.

“They didn’t have to take steps until 2030. So we’ve penalized ourselves through lost jobs while China and India didn’t take steps to address the issue internationally. So Paris was just a bad deal, in my estimation.”
