他的提名于今年2月公布时,遭到环保主义者的批评,他们称其缺乏政府工作经验,不适合该职位。

特拉华州北方公司曾于2015年起诉国家公园管理局,并于2019年特朗普首届任期期间以1200万美元达成和解。

国家公园管理局目前由该局主计长、代理局长杰西卡·布伦掌管。

国家公园管理局隶属于美国内政部。

特朗普政府试图通过一系列举措重塑公共空间、博物馆和公园,民权团体广泛谴责这些举措是在推翻数十年来的社会进步成果。

特朗普就职数周后签署了一项行政命令,针对他所称的“反美国意识形态”传播现象。

该命令要求内政部恢复“近年来为宣扬虚假历史修正主义而被移除或更改的联邦公园、纪念物和纪念碑”。

内政部在该命令发布后表示,所有国家公园的解说标识——即用于介绍景点和历史事件的牌匾与展板——均在审查范围内。

《华盛顿邮报》报道称,美国官员已下令国家公园移除数十个涉及奴隶制以及定居者虐待原住民的标识和展品。

其中一起事件中,国家公园管理局工作人员于1月从费城一处曾是乔治·华盛顿故居的历史遗址移除了一个奴隶制主题展品,一名美国联邦法官下令特朗普政府重新安装该展品,国家公园管理局随后予以执行。

WASHINGTON, April 27 (Reuters) – The White House has withdrawn President Donald Trump’s nomination of a hospitality company executive to be director of the National Park ​Service more than two months after sending the nomination to ‌the U.S. Senate.

The White House did not give a reason for withdrawing the nomination of Scott Socha in its announcement on Monday.

Socha oversees the parks and resorts division ​of hospitality company Delaware North.

His nomination when announced in February was ​criticized by conservationists who had called him unqualified for the role ⁠over lack of experience in government.

Delaware North had sued the National ​Park Service in 2015 and eventually settled the lawsuit for $12 million in 2019 during ​Trump’s first term in office.

NPS is currently overseen by Jessica Bowron, who is the agency’s comptroller and acting director.

NPS is part of the U.S. Interior Department.

The Trump administration has attempted ​to reshape public spaces, museums and parks through steps that civil rights ​groups have widely condemned as undoing decades of social progress.

Trump signed an executive order ‌weeks ⁠after taking office targeting what he said was the spread of “anti-American ideology.”

The order directed the Interior Department to restore federal parks, monuments and memorials that had been “removed or changed in the last years to perpetuate a false revision ​of history.”

The Interior ​Department said after ⁠the order that all national parks’ interpretive signage – the plaques and panels that explain sites and events – was under ​review.

The Washington Post has reported that U.S. officials have ​ordered national ⁠parks to remove dozens of signs and displays related to slavery and the mistreatment of Native Americans by settlers.

In one such attempt where NPS staff removed a ⁠slavery ​exhibit in January from a Philadelphia historic ​site where George Washington once lived, a U.S. federal judge ordered the Trump administration to reinstall the ​slavery exhibit, a decision that NPS complied with.
