President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Monday ending the "procurement and forced use of paper straws," fulfilling a promise the president made last week.

President Donald Trump on Monday signed an executive order aimed at encouraging the U.S. government and consumers to purchase plastic drinking straws.

Just 10 days into his first term in office, Trump signed the order installing the aforementioned 2-for-1 deregulatory benchmark, but former President Joe Biden rescinded that order on his first day in office. Trump officials say the president went on to leave office removing five regulations for each one added.
