On Monday, President Trump announced he’d downsize a pair of national monuments in Utah.
That’s led to lawsuits and reactions from some retailers.
Online shoppers looking for clothes or gear from Patagonia, for example, instead saw a message saying “The President stole your land.”
Other outdoor retailers, including REI and the North Face, have also criticized the president’s move.
