Trump's recent announcement that he would appoint Charles Kushner, the father-in-law of his daughter Ivanka Trump, as the new US ambassador to France caused great outrage. But it is not just the Republican's personnel decisions that regularly attract horrified reactions. His political plans are also sometimes extremely questionable. New Trump plan causes dismay It is currently Donald Trump's plan to make cuts to the US weather agency NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) or even to scrap it completely, which has caused dismay among many observers. Expert warns of new Trump plan and speaks of "catastrophic mistake" Ryan Maue, who worked in the Office of Science and Technology Policy in the White House during Donald Trump's first term in office, warned in a recent guest article in the "New York Times" that this plan was a "catastrophic mistake". Donald Trump is risking the security of the United States. The plan was presumably devised by Elon Musk. Donald Trump appointed the Tesla boss as head of his new agency for government efficiency after his re-election. Donald Trump risks US security with new plan "Given the rising costs and vulnerability of the US to extreme weather events in a changing climate, it would be a catastrophic mistake to disband or defund NOAA," said Ryan Maue. "For people who care about weather and climate, one of the most disturbing proposals right now is to disband the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration." Donald Trump is known for denying climate change. Donald Trump wants to shut down US weather agency If Donald Trump does shut down NOAA, he would "leave Americans at the mercy of weather that is becoming increasingly extreme and deadly." "And since the military relies on NOAA's infrastructure, the risks and damage from extreme weather and climate events are as much a national security concern as an economic one," the expert added in his New York Times article.
