President Trump released a statement on Earth Day declaring that his administration is committed to maintaining the health of the environment.

"My Administration is committed to keeping our air and water clean, to preserving our forests, lakes, and open spaces, and to protecting endangered species," the statement read.

He went on to say that environmental protection should not come at a cost to working families, and that the White House was focused on "reducing unnecessary burdens" on American workers while working to protect the environment.

Trump added that his administration would work to achieve the "twin goals" of environmental health and American economic growth, noting that "we should remember that rigorous science depends not on ideology, but on a spirit of honest inquiry and robust debate."

Trump also tweeted out a statement in support of Earth Day, saying on Saturday, "Today on Earth Day, we celebrate our beautiful forests, lakes and land. We stand committed to preserving the natural beauty of our nation."
