US Interior Dept withdraws land exchange around Alaska refuge

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. Interior Secretary Deb Haaland on Tuesday withdrew a land exchange around a national wildlife refuge in Alaska, reversing a 2019 move by the administration of former President Donald Trump, the Interior Department said.

The Trump administration plan had sought to carve a road through the Izembek National Wildlife Refuge.
