Donald Trump instructed the development of measures to reduce the populations of ticks and certain mosquito species in the District of Columbia, where Washington is located. The head of state’s order was published on the White House website.

The document is titled: “Eradicating Disease Vectors and Restoring the Joy of Outdoor Recreation.”

Under the order, the secretary of the interior, the secretary of agriculture, and the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency must “develop and implement a campaign in the District of Columbia with the aim of reducing the populations of Asian tiger mosquitoes, Egyptian mosquitoes, and other invasive mosquitoes by 90% by 2028, as well as reducing the tick population by 50%, with further reductions where possible.”
