The pause is effective immediately & will give the #Interior Dept, which oversees offshore #wind, time to work with the #Defense Dept & other agencies to assess the possible ways to mitigate any security risks posed by the projects [come up with some bullshit excuses], the admin said.

LOL. Trump uses "pausing" something as an excuse to say he's not cutting what he's cutting.
In the same way, he fires an entire agency's staff, except for three people, so he can claim he's not really closing the agency. I don't think many judges have a stomach for that any more.

“The prime duty of the United States government is to protect the American people,”Interior Secy #DougBurgum [who has vested interests in carbon capture & storage & enhanced #oil recovery tech] said. “Today’s action addresses emerging national security risks, including the rapid evolution of the relevant adversary technologies, & the vulnerabilities created by large-scale offshore #wind projects with proximity near our east coast population centers.”
