Washington, July 30
US President Donald Trump has alleged that India, China and Russia do not take care of their air, while America does, noting that he withdrew from the "one-sided and energy-destroying" Paris climate accord, which would have made it a "non-competitive nation".
Trump, in his address on energy and the Permian Basin in Midland, Texas, on Wednesday, said by imposing these punishing restrictions — and beyond restrictions — "the Washington radical-left, crazy Democrats" would also send countless American jobs, factories and industries to China and to other foreign polluting states.
"They want us to take care of our air, but China doesn't take care of its air. In all fairness, India doesn't take care of its air. Russia doesn't take care of its air. But we do. Not on my watch, it's not going to happen — I can tell you that. Because as long as I'm President, we will always put America first. It's very simple," he said.
"For years and years, we put other countries first, and we now put America first. As we have seen in cities and towns across our nation, it's not just Texas oil that the radical Democrats want to destroy; they want to destroy our country," he said.
Such radical Democrats, he alleged, do not love the country in any way, shape or form.
"There's no respect for the American way of life. There is no way of life ever in history that's been like the great American way of life. There is no respect, but there is by you, and there is by 95 per cent of our people. Our people love our country, and our people love our anthem and they love our flag," he said.
Trump said under the last administration, America's energy industry was under relentless and unceasing attack. "But the day I took the oath of office, we ended the war on American energy and we stopped the far-left assault on American energy workers," he said. — PTI
