President Donald Trump on Monday signed an executive order aimed at encouraging the U.S. government and consumers to purchase plastic drinking straws.

President Trump signed an executive order directing the federal government to return to using plastic straws. “We’re going back to plastic straws,” he said, adding that paper straws “don’t work.” The move comes after former President Biden set a goal of phasing out the government’s use of single-use plastics.

President Donald Trump is moving to reverse a federal push away from plastic straws after signing an executive order on Monday.
