Environmental Demolition Decision from Trump! – Cyprus Newspaper

US President Donald Trump signed a new decree that allows mining on the ocean base.

Environmental organizations react with the phrase “a destructive decision for the environment, climate and natural life ,, while Trump is remembered for the anti -global environmental decisions signed during the first presidency.

According to the information obtained by The Hill Publishing Organ, which shares lobbying from the US Congress, the United States President Donald Trump will start mining at the ocean base. According to the information obtained from the Republican Party members in the Congress, Donald Trump signed a new presidential decree to initiate large -scale commercial mining activities at the ocean base. The decree aims to diversify the US strategic mineral resources and break China’s dominance on the global supply chain. According to the information provided by the members known for its proximity to the Trump administration in the Congress, it is known that there are plenty of manganese, cobalt, nickel and copper on the sea base. These valuable mines are of great importance in energy and defense industry, such as electric vehicle batteries, weapons systems and aircraft parts, steel and high -resistant alloys. Trump’s decision reacts to environmental organizations.

The poison will be released

With the decree, commercial submarine reconnaissance and mining permits will be given by procedures accelerated by the Ministry of Commerce. The Ministry of the Interior will be assigned to form a legal framework that will allow mining off the US coast. Management argues that this step will both revive economic growth and contribute to national security, but environmentalists and scientists react to the decision. Stating that the decision means biological destruction for the ocean, organizations warn that with the excavation of the sea base and that toxic substances can be released into water, that sensitive marine habitats may disappear and that biological diversity may be seriously damaged.

Species will disappear

The US government’s decision is a geopolitical background. Trump sees China’s global control over cobalt, nickel and rare land elements as a national security threat. Trump wants to establish a strategy of reducing geopolitical addiction with sea base mining. In the World Wide Fund for Nature – WWF) report of the Swiss -based World Nature Protection Foundation, the end of the age of fossil fuels and the transition to the electrical economy is warned that all countries are targeted for the search for the necessary minerals. According to the report, such initiatives can lead to the extinction of poisonous emissions and species, as well as the transformation of carbon into the atmosphere.

Green alternative

One of the critical points in the report is that green transition can be achieved in the transition to the electronic economy. According to WWF’s 2022 report, it is possible to reduce demand by 58 percent in seven critical minerals. Therefore, with policies such as technological innovations, recycling infrastructures, consumption reduction, the transition to green energy can be made without resorting to sea base mining. WWF has previously announced that Trump announced that he would do oil and gas drilling in the Arctic region and announced that this attempt would create destruction on live life and natural habitat in the region.

Withdrawn from the agreement

Donald Trump is a leader with a global response with its climate and anti-environmental decisions during the first presidency (2017-2021). During this period, Trump withdrew from the Paris Climate Agreement, which was considered as the greatest joint struggle area against the global climate crisis. Trump also signed a decree that gives unlimited permission to oil and gas drilling in the US territory and promotes coal production; He launched oil exploration activities in the wildlife and natural habitats in the country. In 2020, Trump considered the struggle against the climate crisis as “ideological obsession ..
