- President Donald Trump's administration wants to sell public lands to states, tribes and local governments as part of an effort to "decrease the size of the federal estate," according to a new plan presented by the Interior Department.
Agency officials said the sale of federal property would allow the government to focus resources on "nationally significant" lands, which were not defined.
They offered no details on what parcels could be sold, nor the scope or location of potential sales.
