He declared that America “must drill baby drill” referring to his desire to expand America’s oil production capacity. He vowed to cut regulation and ensure America remains the dominant oil producing nation in the world.
By cutting regulations, and lifting ban on new drilling, Trump hopes to boost America’s quest for energy self sufficiency and stabilise prices. Trump is entering office as a disruptive force, vowing to remake the federal government and expressing deep skepticism about the US-led alliances that have shaped post-World War Two global politics. Trump, who pledged to save America from decline, announced a range of policies in his inaugural address – some of them bound to cause controversy, proclaiming that a “golden age begins right now” for the world’s most powerful country.
He has already announced the withdrawal of the US from the Paris Climate Treaty and an end to US El.
