?? EU Weakens Green Rules—What This Means for the U.S. ?? The European Union is rolling back key sustainability regulations to keep its industries competitive against the U.S. and China. With the EU easing its Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and its Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), Europe is recognizing what we’ve known all along: Circularity can be fueled by the private sector to achieve sustainability goals. ???? Why This Matters for America: ?? Economic Edge: The U.S. has been leading in clean tech investments and manufacturing expansion. If the EU scales back, it creates an opportunity for American businesses to dominate the global sustainability market without excessive red tape. ?? Energy Independence: The EU’s struggle with high energy costs highlights why the U.S. must double down on energy security and domestic resource development to stay ahead. ?? Fair Trade: If Europe weakens its environmental regulations while still imposing carbon border taxes, U.S. companies could face unfair trade barriers. We need strong American policies to ensure a level playing field. This is a moment for the U.S. to lead on innovation, sustainability, and economic growth—on our own terms. Let’s ensure policies support American jobs, energy dominance, and a strong manufacturing sector while keeping our environment in mind. #AmericaFirst #EnergySecurity #Manufacturing #Sustainability #USCompetitiveness #CleanTech #EconomicGrowth?
