The Trump administration plans to sell some federal public lands to states, local governments and tribes. The proposal has drawn opposition from both Republicans and Democrats, NPR reported.
Federal public lands are areas owned by the national government rather than by states or private owners. The plan would move some of those lands into the hands of state and local governments and tribal nations.
NPR reported on November 14, 2026, that the administration faces bipartisan backlash over the plan. The plan is a proposal, and it has not been carried out.
