For Trump, Pfas 'Forever Chemicals' are a crisis in straws. In water, maybe less.

The 36-page official national strategy document bears the presidential seal and comprises 10 agencies from the entire federal government.

It is not the politics of the government to tariffs or border security. It is President Trump's master plan to eradicate paper straws and bring back plastic.

“My administration is committed,” explains the document, “to us from the mirrels, moist chaie too, which is too many of our citizens when they drink through a streak of paper.”

It is a shot in the cultural wars, critics say and another example of the random policy of an administration, which is guided by Mr. Trump's moods and dislikes, be it for paper straws, wind turbines or shower heads with a low river.

But there is a turn: Another major question of public health in the pursuit of the administration complains.

In his attack on paper straws, the document devotes robust eight pages to highlight their health and environmental hazards. In particular, the dangers of PFAS, a class of thousands of synthetic chemicals that are used to produce paper straws and other everyday products, but are also associated with serious health problems and appear across the country in the loading water.
