United States – Tensions rise in Iowa. On the eve of the caucuses in the state that will mark the start of the primaries, former president and new presidential candidate of the Republican Party Donald Trump was hacked by environmental activists in Indianola this Sunday, January 14.

While speaking in front of a crowd of supporters, the arch favorite for the Republican nomination was interrupted by a woman in a black jacket, as shown in images posted on social networks. “You took millions…”This initiates the activist whose words are quickly overshadowed by Trump supporters who boo her.

The action was claimed by the environmental group Sunrise Movement, which posted another video of the girl. We see her agitated and shouting: “You took millions, millions of dollars from billionaires who made their fortunes from gas and oil. » She is ushered out of the room after a few seconds.

Around her, other activists held signs with words “Trump: Climate Criminal”. The billionaire, for his part, was not really bothered by the interruption and mocked the girl: “Thank you dear, go to your mom’s house, your mom is waiting for you.” »

Donald Trump is known for his climate skepticism. He has challenged the scientific consensus on climate change and said 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 since reaching the White House in 2017, Donald Trump pulled out of the 2015 Paris climate accord.
