Six states filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration on June 2, 2026, regarding its decision to cancel a significant offshore wind lease off the coast of New York. The state attorneys general argue that the $1 billion deal to terminate the lease is unlawful. In March, federal officials announced they would pay nearly $1 billion to the French energy firm TotalEnergies to end plans for two offshore wind farms in New York and North Carolina. TotalEnergies agreed to terminate the projects and committed to not developing any new offshore wind projects in the United States while shifting focus to oil and gas investments.
