FAMAGUSTA GAZETTE – U.S. President Donald Trump announced plans to sign executive orders aimed at revitalizing coal production, a move he claims will protect jobs in the coal industry.

Trump also directed the Justice Department to challenge state regulations that he believes are responsible for job losses among coal miners.

Coal-fired power plants are among the largest contributors to CO2 emissions, which are widely recognized as a driving force behind global warming.

This has led many countries to implement policies aimed at reducing coal use in electricity generation, transitioning to cleaner energy sources such as wind, solar, and natural gas.

Trump’s decision has sparked debate, with critics arguing that it undermines global efforts to combat climate change.

Supporters, however, view it as a necessary step to preserve jobs and maintain energy independence.
