According to leaked documents, President Trump plans to shrink two sprawling Utah national monuments by nearly two-thirds. The Associated Press reported that the documents show Trump plans to shrink Bears Ears National Monument by nearly 85% and reduce Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument by almost half. The plan would cut the amount of protected land in the state’s red rock country from more than 3.2 million acres to about 1.2 million acres.
