Trump Overturns Biden Plastic Straw Ban

President Donald Trump has signed an executive order overturning the Biden administration's ban on plastic straws in federal buildings, asserting that paper straws are ineffective and prone to breaking. Trump's decision marks a significant policy reversal from Biden's goal to eliminate single-use plastics by 2035 to reduce environmental pollution. Environmentalists have criticized Trump's stance, arguing that plastic pollution poses significant risks to marine life, despite Trump's assertion that sharks are unaffected by plastic. Trump's move has sparked debate, with some supporting the convenience of plastic straws and others emphasizing the need for sustainable alternatives. His action highlights his broader skepticism towards climate change efforts, as seen in his withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement. The executive order reflects Trump's long-standing opposition to environmental regulations he views as unnecessary or burdensome.
