Trump to Reverse Biden's Plastic Straw Policy

News summary

President Donald Trump announced plans to sign an executive order reversing the Biden administration's efforts to reduce single-use plastics in favor of more environmentally friendly alternatives like paper straws. Trump's decision to 'BACK TO PLASTIC!' follows his long-standing criticism of paper straws, which he claims are ineffective due to their tendency to disintegrate. This move would undo Biden's initiative, which aimed to phase out single-use plastics from federal operations by 2027 and from all federal operations by 2035, as part of broader environmental goals. While Trump's stance is praised by some conservatives, it has sparked discussions about the environmental impact of such policy reversals. Environmentalists argue that reducing plastic use is crucial for mitigating pollution and protecting wildlife, whereas Trump has historically prioritized deregulation in favor of business interests. The White House has not yet commented on the scope of Trump's proposed executive order.
