Energy Independence and Jobs at the Heart of Trump’s Agenda
In a move consistent with his long-standing support for traditional energy jobs, President Trump is preparing to sign executive orders this week aimed at revitalizing the American coal industry. The orders will reduce regulatory barriers for coal extraction and incentivize domestic energy production.
The White House says the goal is to reverse the anti-coal mandates of previous administrations, protect energy-sector jobs, and reinforce national energy independence.
“American coal powers our homes and our economy,” Trump said. “We are proud to stand with our miners.”
The action comes as global energy markets face instability, and serves as a reminder that America's energy abundance is a strategic advantage—one that the Trump administration is determined to maximize.
