One of the largest producers and sellers of asbestos, Ursalabest, has placed a seal of President Donald Trump’s face on its products along with a caption “approved by Donald Trump, 45th president of the United States.” This comes following the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) decision not to ban new asbestos products outright.
Asbestos is a building material that, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO) causes lung cancer, mesothelioma, cancer of the larynx and ovary, and asbestosis (fibrosis of the lungs). President Trump however, is a long-time supporter of the material having described it as “100% safe, once applied” in his 1997 book The Art of the Comeback.
