Pressed on Climate Change, Trump Says Weather “Changes Both Ways”

HeadlineJun 06, 2019

President Trump has again denied the existence of climate change, telling a British television show that weather “changes both ways.” Trump was speaking with the host of “Good Morning Britain,” Piers Morgan, a former contestant on Trump’s NBC reality show “The Apprentice.”

Piers Morgan: “Do you personally believe in climate change?”

President Donald Trump: “I believe that there is a change in weather. And I think it changes both ways.”

During the 30-minute interview, Trump deflected questions on gun control and defended his ban on transgender soldiers in the military, claiming it was too expensive to provide them medical care. Asked if the United States would take military action against Iran, Trump replied, “There’s always a chance.”
