In a sweeping move poised to boost U.S. energy production, President-elect Donald Trump is set to remove regulatory barriers to oil and natural gas extraction. This plan includes reversing restrictions set by previous administrations.

Key initiatives on Trump's agenda feature exiting the Paris Climate Accord, rapidly lifting restrictions on natural gas exports, and declaring a national energy emergency to expedite infrastructure and drilling projects. Such actions could significantly impact both environmental policies and energy dynamics.

Among other goals, Trump aims to halt new offshore wind power projects and institute wide-ranging tariffs on imports, potentially reshaping the U.S. approach to energy independence and global trade influences.
