UNITED STATES – Tensions are rising in Iowa. On the eve of the caucus in the state that will mark the beginning of the primaries, the former president and new presidential candidate on the Republican side Donald Trump was harassed by environmental activists this Sunday, January 14, in Indianola.
While speaking to a crowd of supporters, the arch-favorite for the Republican nomination was interrupted by a woman in a black jacket, as seen in images posted on social media. “You took millions…” begins this activist, whose words are quickly covered by the pro-Trump people who boo her.

The action was complained about by the environmental group Sunrise Movement, which published another video of the young woman. We see her becoming agitated and screaming, “They took millions, millions of dollars from billionaires who made their fortunes in gas and oil.” » A few seconds later she is led out of the room.
Trump's climate skeptics
Around them, other activists held signs that read “Trump: Climate Criminal.” For his part, the billionaire wasn't really fazed by the interruption and mocked the young woman: “Thank you, my love, go home to your mother, your mother is waiting for you.” »
Donald Trump is known for his climate skepticism. He is challenging the scientific consensus on climate change and says he wants to restart large-scale hydrocarbon drilling across the United States if he is re-elected next November.
In one of his first decisions upon arriving at the White House in 2017, Donald Trump withdrew from the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement.
