Trump promises Big Oil that he will approve all their projects immediately
Trump continued to try to sell US policy by promising the fossil fuel industry that if he returned to the White House, he would immediately approve all their projects.

Trump said he would “lift the ban on natural gas exports, repeal all unnecessary energy-killing regulations… [and] open more federal lands to drilling, the notes said, drawing cheers from the public.
Trump told attendees he would immediately reverse Biden’s pause on approving new liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports. Lifting the pause could directly benefit Energy Transfer Partners, whose pipelines serve several LNG export terminals that ship the fuel abroad. The company also clashed with the Biden administration last year when it declined to renew a permit for its LNG export terminal in Lake Charles, La.
Trump’s behavior is egregious. He goes to big money donors and promises to do anything they want in exchange for money. Donors usually hope to exert influence with their contributions. There is no hope attached to Trump. The ex-president has put a price tag on America’s energy and environmental policies, and as long as Big Oil pays, they will get everything they want.
During Trump’s time in politics, there were concerns and fears that he would sell out access and policy. Trump’s own behavior confirms that he is corruptly selling American policy, and not even one Senate investigation will slow him down.
