US President Donald Trump continues to apply “blows” on Grete Tunberg, “amazing” this time not only her, but also his predecessor. The American leader declared a “war” of paper straw for drinking and stated that he was returning “back to plastic”.
Politico writes about this. The publication refers to Donald Trump's statement in his social network Truth Social.
As the publication reminded, last summer the Biden administration announced that the US Federal Government, which is the world's largest buyer of consumer goods, will gradually abandon one -time plastic in all its buildings.
Now Trump criticized these attempts by Biden, calling them "
" Back to plastic! "
Disputes around straw and other disposable plastic products are part of a wider discussion about whether the federal government should reduce greenhouse gas emissions. More than 90% of plastic is made of fossil fuel, which during burning emits a large amount of carbon dioxide and accelerates climate change.
