Look at India, the air is filthy: Trump at presidential debate

TIL Desk/World/Washington/ United States President Donald Trump has accused China, India and Russia of not taking care of their “filthy air” as he justified America’s withdrawal from the “unfair” Paris climate agreement.

Trump, a known climate change sceptic, wants to expand non-renewable energy. He aims to increase drilling for oil and gas, and roll back further environmental protections in America.”Look at China, how filthy it is. Look at Russia. Look at India, it’s filthy.

 The air is filthy,” Trump said during the final presidential debate with his Democratic challenger Joe Biden in Nashville, Tennessee. We have the best emission numbers that we’ve had in 35 years under this administration. We are working so well with the industry,” he said responding to a question on climate change during the debate that lasted just over 90 minutes.

Trump has repeatedly blamed countries like India and China for not doing enough on climate change, labelling them as regions with air that is impossible to breathe.
