Vice President JD VANCE visited the Trump administration on the second anniversary of the derailment of the toxic trains, visiting the Trump administration's “Cleanup” in East Palestine, Ohio.
“We've been in the East Palestinian for a long time,” said Vans, a former member of the Ohio, in a remark from the town fire department.
Vice President said that President Trump wanted him to visit East Palestine and tell the community the message “unforgettable” and “not left behind.”
“What does that mean? One thing that means is, of course, that the environment must be purified,” Vance declared, and he called it “tragedy and shame”. He said that the cleanup was not completed during the administration.
Vice President also shows that the Trump administration has committed to securing East Palestine's long -term economic development.
“I know that many local companies and many local people lost when a train disaster occurred,” said Vans.
On February 3, 2023, some cars carry dangerous materials while passing 4,700 towns about 1 hour west of Pittsburgh, and some of them are spilling cargo on the soil. There was a Norfolk southern freight train that the car derailed.
The disaster worsened three days later, and the authorities ordered the controlled burns of five tank cars filled with vinyl chloride chloride due to the unfounded fear of exploding tanks.
The burns were formed dark clouds on the town, causing the fear of residents on the long -term health impact of disasters.
The National Transportation Safety Board has determined that the tank car has already begun to cool down and has not exploded, so it is unnecessary to operate the burn.
The soil of 177,000 tons or more and more than 67 million gallons are carried away from East Palestine as part of a continuous cleanup with more than $ 1 billion in southern Norfolk.
Vance visits matched New lawsuit proposed to Norfolk Southern He claims that the seven illegal deaths were caused by the trains of the train.
The complaint also claims that the railway company and its contractors have failed to purify, failing to appropriately warn the East Palestine residents on the Healthy Risk of the Environmental Protection Agency.
Last September, Norfolk Southern agreed to pay $ 600 million to everyone living within 20 miles from the derailment as part of the class action reconciliation.
The company also paid to upgrade the water treatment plant in the town, and agree to the $ 22 million reconciliation of East Palestine instead of police and firefighting equipment.
78 -year -old Trump visited East Palestine in 2023 within three weeks after derailment, delivered water to residents, and ordered McDonald's for Fastless Ponders.
Former President Joe Biden did not visit the town more than a year after the first toxic leakage.
The 40 -year -old Vance acknowledged that it would take some time to fix the “two -year economic pain caused by the train disaster” during the visit.
“But you now have a government that cares about you, it will work on these problems, and that's not going to snap all your fingers. Infrastructure and redevelopment One day to make sure that you can get help, and certainly get the health and environmental assistance you need to recover. ”
“We are trying to do better in East Palestine than in the past few years,” Vance swore. “It's certainly my commitment to this community.”
