Trump May Reopen Grand Canyon Area To Miners
Interior Department Is Considering Request to Lift a 20-Year Ban on Uranium Mining
By Sarah Okeson
Trump could revoke former President Barack Obamas 20-year ban on new uranium mines near the Grand Canyon.
The Board of Supervisors in Mohave County in northwest Arizona has asked Secretary of Interior Ryan Zinke to look at lifting the ban, and both Arizona senators oppose the ban. U.S. Rep. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) is a former lobbyist for a uranium mining company.
