Washington: US President Donald Trump has said the environmental policies of his Democratic presidential rival Joe Biden would “destroy” America’s middle class while giving a “free pass” to the world’s worst polluters like China, Russia, India, and many others.
In a major policy speech on his “record of natural conservation and environmental protection”, Trump told a gathering in Jupiter, Florida that his administration is proving every day that the US can improve its environment while creating millions of high-paying jobs. “This is a really sharp contrast to the extreme, radical left that you’ve had to deal with. And what you’re doing right now is a lot better than anything you’ve ever been accustomed to, I will tell you that,” he said.
“Biden’s plan would destroy America’s middle class while giving a free pass to the world’s worst foreign polluters like China, Russia, India, and many others. They don’t have to clean up their lands, but we have to clean up ours,” Trump said.
Biden and his running mate Indian-origin Senator Kamala Harris will challenge Trump and Vice President Mike Pence in the November 3 presidential election.
