On this episode of the podcast, former Chief of Staff at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Mandy Gunasekara, talks about her time serving in the first Trump Administration and her bold insights on environmental policy. Gunasekara recounts her pivotal role in the U.S. withdrawal from the Paris Climate Accord, exposing the economic pitfalls and the lack of accountability from major polluters like China and India.

Gunasekara critiques the Biden Administration’s environmental agenda, calling for a leaner, more effective EPA and advocating for the global adoption of U.S. pollution control technology. She also shares her perspective on the importance of private sector collaboration in government and the challenges faced by Trump officials navigating the ‘deep state’ in Washington, D.C. Furthermore, Gunasekara discusses the reforms needed during the second term of Donald Trump’s presidency and the critical need to push back against entrenched bureaucracies.
