In a statement, Mayor de Blasio said, “Our message is loud and clear. We’re tackling climate change head-on with NYC’s Green New Deal.” He added that the city is requiring “all big building to cut their emissions” to achieve its goal to become carbon neutral by 2020.
“President Trump – you’re on notice. Your polluting buildings are part of the problem. Cut your emissions or pay the price,” said Mayor de Blasio.

Eric Trump accused Mayor de Blasio of abusing his power
The President’s son, Eric Trump who serves as executive vice president of the Trump Organization slammed Mayor de Blasio in a series of tweets on Monday. He accused the Mayor of attacking businesses for “political points” and abusing his power.
(1/4) The fact that the Mayor of a major city would attack an iconic organization (which employs thousands of hardworking New York taxpayers) for his own political gain is an abuse of power, unethical and simply counterintuitive. @NYCMayor

(2/4) Most Mayors do all they can to support great businesses – here in NYC, businesses are attacked for headlines and “political points” and is this very mentality that is causing people to leave our great city in droves.

(3/4) @NYCMayor if you ever think there is an initiative that would be great for New York, I would be happy to come to city hall and visit you anytime. But forcing a pop-up press conference in our lobby is simply childish.

(4/4) Maybe one of these days we can work together, an invitation which remains open to you anytime. I wish you and our great city the best. https://t.co/fm1oj35A77

In response, Mayor de Blasio tweeted, “Spare me. You and your dad have spent decades evading taxes and stiffing your workers. NYC’s Green New Deal is one law the Trumps won’t get away with breaking. Fix your buildings or pay the price.”
