Trump threw water on stage in Texas while explaining rollbacks of environmental standards

US President Donald Trump poured out a glass of water during a speech in Texas, trying to clearly explain the principle of fuel economy. The broadcast was hosted by the Forbes Breaking News YouTube channel.

At a rally of supporters, he spoke about rolling back auto environmental standards put in place under former President Joe Biden's administration. Trump said that previous requirements forced manufacturers to install additional electronic systems in cars in order to save a small amount of fuel.

“I have a glass of water, I’m not a big drinker of water. To save this amount of fuel, you need to build three computers into the engine,” said the American leader.

Trump also noted that the United States has significant oil reserves, but the country has to save a relatively small amount of fuel due to current regulations. To illustrate his point, the president poured water on the stage.
