Donald Trump signed a paper saying America will stop using paper straws. He wants everyone to use plastic straws instead.
Last year, Joe Biden made a plan to remove plastic from government places. He wanted people to use things they could reuse or turn into dirt, and he hoped to make this happen by 2027.
Trump thinks paper straws are bad. He says they break easily and might contain harmful chemicals. He pointed out that paper straws cost more money than plastic ones. People often need many paper straws because they fall apart. He also noticed something funny—paper straws come wrapped in plastic.
"This makes no sense. We will go back to plastic straws," Trump said when he signed his new rule. He told government workers to stop buying paper straws right away and wanted them removed from all government buildings. Trump gave his team 45 days to make a plan to help the whole country stop using paper straws.
Before signing this rule, Trump went on the internet and wrote that Biden's plan was "DEAD!" He wants to change everything Biden planned about removing plastic things from government places.
