US President Donald Trump signed a decree to return to the use of plastic straws.
"IT DOESN'T WORK"
While signing the decree, Trump criticized the promotion of paper straws during former US President Joe Biden's term, saying, "We will use plastic straws again. Paper straws don't work." Trump, who claimed to have used paper straws many times, stated, "Especially with hot drinks, they melt within minutes or even seconds. That's why we will start using plastic straws again."
MORE COSTLY TO PRODUCE
The decree emphasized that 'the production of paper straws containing chemicals that may harm human health is more costly than plastic straws.' The decree stated that paper straws are stored with plastic bags, and therefore, the environmental impact argument regarding their use is rendered void.
