Rishi Sunak's Climate Policy Changes: A Smart Move or Cynical Backtrack?
Former US President Donald Trump praised UK Chancellor Rishi Sunak for scaling back net zero measures, calling it a "smart" move and dismissing the climate crisis as a "green new hoax." Sunak recently delayed the ban on new diesel and petrol cars and weakened targets to phase out gas boilers. Trump criticized the US for spending trillions on unachievable climate goals while breathing in polluted air from countries like China, India, and Russia. He congratulated Sunak for recognizing the "scam" and warned that the Green New Hoax could bring down the US.
