STORY: Early campaign appearance for US Presidential candidate and former President Donald Trump in Ohio. Here in East Palestine, where a freight train carrying hazardous materials recently derailed, residents are calling for stricter federal railroad regulations. Since the accident, the population of the area has had to deal with an environmental disaster. A public debate is also about financing the elimination of the consequences of the accident. Reason enough for Republican Trump to campaign for votes in the city – in his own unique way. “I hope there is still some money left when your MPs and all politicians, including Biden, are back from Ukraine. We are yes now at 117 billion dollars.” But Europe only spent a fraction of that on Ukraine, Trump said. The next US presidential election will be held in November 2024. Previously, however, the Norfolk Southern rail company had already stated that it would take responsibility for the clean-up work after the February 3 accident, also permanently. Fearing a powerful detonation, authorities decided to flare off the toxic chemicals. A black cloud then moved over the area, which had previously been partially evacuated. Since then, people have been complaining about health problems, and the environment has also been seriously polluted.
