The Shock: Northern Dynasty's CEO Ron Thiessen expressed shock that the administration is still defending the veto despite its pro-mining rhetoric.
“We find it surprising that despite the Executive Orders and the many statements made by the administration related to Alaskan development, pro-energy, pro-critical metals, pro-defense and military support, removing roadblocks to permitting, on the need for copper, etc., this EPA would choose to defend the unlawful Obama-Biden veto,” Thiessen said.
