Farmers, ranchers, and agricultural businesses opposed the rule, as it allowed the EPA to regulate any water on a farmers land.

Trump called it a disaster during remarks, reminding the public that the EPA threatened a Wyoming rancher with fines of $37,000a dayafter he duga stock pond on his land.

Its a horrible, horrible rule, Trump said. It was a nice name, but everything else is bad.

Trumps executive order directs the EPA and the Army Corps of Engineers to withdraw and reconsider therule back to the government agencies on the basis that it overreaches their authority.

Several U.S. senators, including Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY), Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA), and Sen Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND.), attended the signing. Some members of the House of Representatives andseveral county commissioners also attended.
