Washington: President Donald Trump on Friday raged against eco-friendly paper straws promoted by his predecessor Joe Biden, and pledged that the United States would return to using plastic ones. "I will be signing an Executive Order next week ending the ridiculous Biden push for Paper Straws, which don't work. BACK TO PLASTIC!" Trump said on social media. Democrat Biden had announced a target to eliminate single-used plastic utensils like drinking straws by 2035 in government departments.
