WASHINGTON, D.C.: President Donald Trump, who had often complained about weak water pressure in showers, has signed an order to remove those limits. He said he wanted stronger showers to help "take care of my beautiful hair."

The order cancels rules implemented by former Democratic presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden to save water and energy.

A White House statement said Trump was ending what it called the "Obama-Biden war on water pressure" and aimed to "make America's showers great again."

The Energy Department was told to cancel a rule limiting showerheads to using no more than 2.5 gallons (9.5 liters) of water per minute. Trump's order also removes water-saving rules for other appliances, such as toilets and dishwashers.

"In my case, I like to take a nice shower, take care of my beautiful hair," Trump said during a signing ceremony in the Oval Office. He said he has to stand under the showerhead for 15 minutes under the current regulations, which he called ridiculous.

"We're going to open it up so that people can live," he said.
