President Donald Trump said Friday that he would stop a plan by the Biden administration to phase out plastic straws across the federal government, saying it’s “BACK TO PLASTIC.”

“I will be signing an Executive Order next week ending the ridiculous Biden push for Paper Straws, which don’t work,” Trump posted on his Truth Social site.

Last year, the Biden administration ordered a phaseout of single-use plastic from the federal government’s food service operations, events and packaging by 2027, and from all other federal operations by 2035.

It was not clear whether Trump planned to call off that wider effort or whether he was focused just on bringing back plastic straws. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for clarification.

The U.S. government is considered the world’s biggest buyer of consumer goods, and its planned shift away from plastic had been considered a significant milestone in a global effort to tackle a plastics pollution crisis.
