Deep-Sea Drama: Trump Sinks Ocean Talks Like a Reality Show
Covering deep-sea mining was supposed to be about greed and impatience wrecking ocean life, not a presidential cameo from Donald Trump. Yet here we are, with Trump 'coming back to blow up international negotiations' that were meant to stop governments from turning a vital ocean resource into their personal playground. As Justine Calma points out in The Verge, it's a wild ride where the health of oceans—and humans depending on them—might just be a background extra in Trump’s rerun. Who knew deep-sea mining could attract sequel-level drama?
