President Donald Trump has once again ordered the sizes of two monuments in southern Utah to be reduced, but his new order will shrink them beyond his first order nearly a decade ago.
 
Trump signed an executive order on Monday reducing the sizes of Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante national monuments to about 121,000 acres and 182,000 acres, respectively. The combined total is approximately a quarter of the previous sizes he shrank them down to in 2017, and a tenth of their original sizes.
 
In all, almost 3 million acres "are going to be well taken care of now," the president said as he signed both orders. "We've done something that I think was very desperately needed. It was very unfair to the people of Utah, and now fairness has been brought back."
