President Trump signed an executive order reinstating plastic drinking straws, claiming their environmental impact is negligible. He criticized paper straws, stating they fail to satisfy consumers.

This decision reverses President Biden's goal of eliminating single-use plastics by 2035. Trump dismissed environmental concerns, arguing that plastic straws do not significantly harm marine life.

His administration remains focused on fossil fuel production and has consistently acted against "progressive" climate initiatives.
