President Donald Trump said on Feb. 7 that he would sign an executive order ending the federal government’s push to transition away from single-use plastic straws.

The order would target past actions from the previous administration that directed federal agencies to transition away from using plastic for single-use products such as straws, cups, cutlery, and disposable bags.
