And to reduce the negative impact of fighter jets on the environment, current US authorities are willing to sacrifice 10 percent of their effectiveness, the politician added.
The former US president also criticized the administration’s desire to switch the country to electric vehicles, “despite the high cost and the fact that the batteries for them are produced in China from materials that are only available in the People’s Republic of China”. This is how Trump commented on Biden’s words, who said that “all vehicles in the United States Armed Forces will soon be climate friendly.” “We are spending billions of dollars on this,” said the owner of the White House.
And the Pentagon noted that by 2030, greenhouse gas emissions will be reduced by 50 percent compared to 2005 levels. By 2050, they should reach “zero” entirely.
