US President Donald Trump has blamed countries like China, Russia and India for increasing global air pollution, claiming that his country has the best environmental figures.
Speaking to supporters at an election rally on the key North Carolina state battlefield Thursday, Trump said that the United States under his administration has achieved energy independence while protecting its pristine environment. “We have the best environmental numbers, ozone levels, and many other numbers. Meanwhile, China, Russia, India, all these countries, are throwing things into the air, “he alleged during the rally.
He said the United States has achieved energy independence while protecting its pristine environment. In June 2017, Trump announced his decision to withdraw from the Paris agreement, saying the agreement would have cost the United States trillions of dollars, destroyed jobs and hampered the oil, gas, coal and manufacturing industries.
He has continually argued that countries like China and India are benefiting the most from the Paris agreement and that the agreement itself was unfair to the United States, seriously affecting their businesses and jobs.
Also during Thursday’s rally, Trump told the cheering crowd that it was some nations that were contributing to global pollution. “I keep telling my people that you know, I love clean air, but Russia and China, you look at a map, you have all these places and India and many others are throwing it away. What do you suggest?” he asked his thousands of supporters who had gathered at a city airport here to hear his election speech.
Trump also mocked those calling for paper to replace plastic.
“Well, we think you shouldn’t be selling straws anymore. Oh great ok. You ever heard that, the straw, right? I say ok, the straw is good, what about the plastic plate? And the cardboard? What about the glass that has no plastic? Well, we’ll get to that later. These people are crazy, ”he said.
In his speech, Trump also spoke about jobs for Americans, mentioning that he recently fired the director of a semi-private company for replacing American workers with foreign workers. “The president of the Tennessee Valley Authority was fired because he replaced the American workforce with foreign workers. I told the chairman of the board, chairman, he’s fired. Outside. He’s fired, President, ”he said.
“And what happened was as soon as I said they hired all the employees from Tennessee and five other states, six other states. They are all back and they were great. They were great. So we do our little things, right? We did that and it was great, ”he said.
Trump claimed that the immigration plan of his Democratic opponent Joe Biden is the most extreme in the history of the country.
“Biden’s plan would wipe out the borders of the US By implementing nationwide catch and release that is catch, the killer is coming, you catch him. What do you do? Well not much. Most of them don’t say they kill people, do they? You catch them. You take their name and release them in our country. It was a big problem, it sounds easy, ”he said, adding that he ended up catching and releasing.
“One of the worst things. Now we release them. Do you know where we throw them? We release them back to their country. We no longer release them in our country. We say congratulations on having received them, ”he said. Biden, in one of his demonstrations on Wednesday, said that if he voted for power, he would give citizenship to 11 million illegal immigrants.
