Trump to scrap Biden's plastic straw phase-out plan
Donald Trump announced that next week he will sign an executive order canceling the plan of previous U.S. President Joe Biden, which aimed to phase out plastic straws by 2027. "Back to plastic!" announced the U.S. President on social media.
Donald Trump announced on the social media platform Truth Social that he intends to bring back plastic straws, which the Joe Biden administration planned to phase out by 2027. Democrats supported the promotion of paper straws, citing environmental concerns.
The war on plastic straws in the USA
The debate over the material of drinking straws is just part of a broader discussion about single-use plastics. The Biden administration, in its report, also pointed to the need to tighten regulations on plastic production. Trump intends to completely break away from this approach.
I will be signing an Executive Order next week ending the ridiculous Biden push for Paper Straws, which work. BACK TO PLASTIC! wrote Trump on his profile.
Trump against the climate change agreement
Biden's plan was part of a broader cultural shift influencing entire industries to abandon plastic in favor of more ecological solutions. The change in leadership in the USA means abandoning this vision. Trump, at the beginning of his second term, decided to withdraw the USA from the Paris Agreement on climate.
