Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-N.J.) said Tuesday he is collaborating with President-elect Trump on an executive order that would halt the construction of new wind turbines, a frequent Trump target, off the East Coast.

In a statement, Van Drew said he has been “working closely” with Trump on the measure as well as longer-term plans for permanent restrictions on offshore wind projects. The New Jersey Republican projected the order would be finalized within months of Trump’s inauguration.
