Speech on environmental policy to attract votes in the general election

On July 8th, the president of the United States addressed the White House on environmental policy. In addition to declaring that the United States leads the world in pollution control, he also stressed that a strong economy is the key to a healthy environment. It is reported that one of the aims of this speech is to explain its environmental policy to voters in the 2020 presidential election.

According to reports, he said in his speech that the United States is the leader in providing clean drinking water, reducing air pollution and reducing carbon emissions. But at the same time, the United States has also promoted industrial development and reduced environmental regulation.

"A strong economy is crucial to maintaining a healthy environment," he stressed repeatedly in his speech. "It's never the right way to achieve a better environment or economy by punishing Americans. We have rejected this wrong approach and have seen good results. He said.

In addition, he took the opportunity to attack the "Green New Deal" put forward by the radical democrats. He said the plan would cost the United States millions of jobs, disrupt the dreams of the poor and disproportionately hurt minorities.

A number of officials related to environmental protection, Minister of interior Bernhard, Minister of energy, director of Environmental Quality Committee and director of environmental protection, attended the speech.

The report pointed out that the speech was also criticized by environmental groups. This year, thanks to the development of shale mining technology, the United States has become the world's largest producer of oil and gas. Since taking office, Trump is also committed to reviving the coal industry and reducing government regulation in environmental protection. In addition, he has withdrawn from the agreement and has always been skeptical of global warming.

It is reported that this speech is the idea of running for re-election team. They hope to attract votes from young people and suburban women. In addition, some media quoted an anonymous White House official as saying that their data show that for those who are keen on climate change, they will not get their votes anyway. However, some moderate voters like economic policies. They just want to know that the president is "responsible" for environmental issues. This is also one of the main purposes of this speech.
