Trump calls paper straws 'ridiculous', says he'll sign order to end them next week

US President Donald Trump on Friday criticised his predecessor Joe Biden's support for eco-friendly paper straws over plastic straws by calling it "ridiculous" and said that he'll sign an executive order to end this next week. "BACK TO PLASTIC!" Trump added. Last year, the Biden administration announced its plan to phase out single-use plastics from federal operations by 2035.
