WASHINGTON – President Trump announced Friday that he will soon sign an executive order to end the Biden administration's initiative to ban plastic straws across the federal government.
“Next week I'll sign an executive order. I'll end Biden's stupid straw push, but that won't work,” the President, 78, writes about the true society.
“Back to plastic!”
Trump appeared to be referring to former President Joe Biden's July 2024 promise to “phase out” in the federal sector, including straws, cutlery and cups.
The ban also covered all packaging and foodservice operations once the procurement ended in 2027.
“Over the past 20 years, plastic production and waste has doubled, scattering the ocean, poisoning the air in communities near production facilities, and threatening public health,” says the modern White House fact sheet. It states.
Environmentalists have long run against single-use plastics as wasteful and dangerous to sea turtles and other marine wildlife.
Trump expressed his annoyance in his 2020 pushback amid a failure in his re-election bid.
“They want to ban straws. Has anyone tried those paper straws? They're not working too well,” he said at one event. “If you drink it it will break down.”
Trump's announcement has been praised by Republicans and conservatives like Sen. Mark Wayne Mullin (R-Okla.). He writes about X:
“It could be a simple middle school election, but it could be an acting (or just posting) in a steady stream of annoying and familiar issues in your daily life. Written as a government strategist Liam Donovan.
“I think what I'm saying is to make the incandescent bulbs great again,” he added.
“The US contributes a small share of plastic waste in the ocean.” Added Unherd Us Editor Sohrab Ahmari. “It is enough to make life miserable for ordinary people in the name of the causes of these boutiques.”
