This certain and significant move of US President Joe Biden actually comes just weeks before US President- elect Donald Trump is all set to take office again while potentially complicating Donald Trump's plans to ramp up fossil fuel production, asserted Daily Beast.

The incoming press secretary of Donald Trump actually criticized the decision as ‘disgraceful’ while claiming it was politically motivated and detrimental to US energy independence.

US President Joe Biden defended his action by eventually stating that drilling in these areas is actually unnecessary for meeting the energy needs of the nation and eventually poses risks to cherished environments, noted Daily Beast.

At the same time, this significant announcement has garnered a huge bipartisan support from various political leaders and environmental groups while emphasizing the need for sustainable practices amid ongoing climate change concerns.
