SwiftUI NavigationLink not working when I add @Environment(\.dismiss) to my view

In SwiftUI I have a view (CartView) that is being presented from a NavigationLink (this navigationLink is in a different view, HomeView).

When I add the @Environment(.dismiss) to the current view (CartView). The NavigationLink with "Checkout" label does not work and the app just freezes when its tapped. If i remove the @Environment wrapper the issue goes away and everything works perfectly fine.

Below I have added some of the code in my view.

struct CartView: View {
@Environment(\.dismiss) var dismiss
@EnvironmentObject var viewModel: CartViewModel
    
    var body: some View {
        NavigationStack {
            ScrollView {
                if viewModel.items.isEmpty {
                    Text(AppConfig.Cart.emptyCartMessage)
                        .font(.largeTitle)
                } else {
                    ForEach(viewModel.items, id: \.id) { item in
                        ItemView(item: item)
                            .environmentObject(viewModel)
                    }

                    NavigationLink {
                        CheckoutView()
                                        .environmentObject(viewModel)
                    } label: {
                        Text("Checkout")
                            .padding()
                            .foregroundColor(.init(uiColor: .systemBackground))
                            .frame(maxWidth: .infinity)
                            .frame(height: 45)
                            .background(
                                RoundedRectangle(
                                    cornerRadius: 10,
                                    style: .continuous
                                )
                                .fill(Color(uiColor: .label))
                            )
                            .padding(.top)
                            .padding(.horizontal)
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
