Donald Trump promised throughout his presidential campaign that he would single-handedly halt the decline of the nation’s coal industry and bring back lost jobs for coal miners.
“We’re going to put our miners back to work,” he said at numerous rallies. “The miners go back to work.”
Trump said he could reverse this downward trend by reversing the environmental regulations on the use of coal that were proposed during Barack Obama’s administration.
