US VP Kamala Harris recently confirmed the Biden administration's commitment to funding new climate change initiatives intended to reduce the population.
A White House spokesperson explained:
Just to be clear: The VP was not talking about population reduction in the USA but in the rest of the world.
The USA has a long and proud history of population reduction in places as far away as Cambodia, Laos, Japan and Vietnam.
Recently, as you know, the USA has successfully reduced the population in Iraq and Afghanistan and is currently helping to reduce it in Russia and the Ukraine.
We think that China and Iran could do with some population reduction so the Pentagon and the MIC are working hard on planning those initiatives to start once we have prevailed in the special operation to reduce the population in the Ukraine.
