It is banned; they're talking about un-banning it
It should be mentioned that it was only banned in the US in 2024 under Biden, so obviously yet another reason why he would want to overturn the ban (on top him being paid to overturn it of course).
You baned ASBESTOS in 2024???!!! It's not the right century.
It hasn't been used in decades, banned or not
I think my favourite part is that it was banned in the us in 1989 but then unbanned in 1991 after a fight in the court of appeals.
Oh and there are still some asbestos uses allowed (cement sheets, industrial diaphragms, etc.) but the us is not unique in this.
Like restarting production or slowing down the decontamination?
Restarting production. Trump has been praising asbestos for years, so the people eager to restart that production has obviously been paying him for some time.
