Trump says Green New Deal would 'crush' poor Americans, touts environmental record
Trump: Green New Deal would 'crush' America's poor
In a White House speech that touted his administration's environmental efforts, President Trump issued a new full-throated denunciation of the Green New Deal championed by top Democrats, including New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, saying the proposal would devastate the economy and hit minorities the hardest. The address was aimed at publicizing the often under-reported work by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), as well as firing a political shot across the bow of Democrats who largely have dominated the conversation on climate change. Meanwhile, Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Bernie Sanders will introduce a resolution Tuesday declaring a climate change emergency, a move that comes after the Green New Deal failed to take off the ground earlier this year.
