Ronald Reagan did not consider acid rain to be a problem when Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau approached him with the topic in 1981. Reagan was skeptical about the science behind acid rain and believed that reducing pollution would harm the US economy. However, later in his presidency, Reagan changed his stance and signed the Acid Rain Program into law in 1990.
