Trump vows to scrap Biden's power plant emission limits

This is a disaster for our country. Instead of closing power plants, we will open dozens of new ones, and it will happen quickly Trump stated, announcing a departure from the regulations introduced in April aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions by a billion tons annually by 2047.

During a meeting with voters at a factory in the working-class city of York, Pennsylvania, Trump presented his most concrete economic promises of the campaign so far, according to Reuters.

The meeting in Pennsylvania was the first stop on Trump’s tour of key states. It aims to divert attention from the Democratic Party’s election convention starting Monday in Chicago and its candidate, current Vice President Kamala Harris.

According to Reuters, some of Trump’s supporters and advisors urged him to refrain from personal attacks on Harris, particularly regarding her race and gender. In Monday’s speech, the Republican candidate largely adhered to this advice.

Trump reiterated his commitment to radically restricting foreign companies' access to the domestic market, ensuring that if he wins, the supply chains of key goods will be 100% American. He did not explain how he plans to achieve this.

The Republican candidate also reiterated that as President, he would block the takeover of the American company U.S. Steel by the Japanese corporation Nippon Steel.

After the meeting in York, Trump stated in an interview with Reuters that he would consider withdrawing the $7,500 tax credit on the purchase of electric vehicles. During his presidency, the Republican tried to abolish these credits.

I am not making a final decision on this matter. I am a big fan of electric cars, but I’m also a fan of gasoline-powered cars, as well as hybrids and everything else that comes along, he said, referring to the credits.

Trump also said that if elected, he would propose to Tesla CEO Elon Musk a government or advisory position. Last month, Musk publicly supported Trump’s presidential candidacy.
