President Donald Trump is swiftly overturning former President Joe Biden’s climate policies through executive orders promoting fossil fuel production. Declaring an “energy emergency,” Trump aims to support new drilling, mining for critical minerals, and expanding offshore projects, streamlining energy infrastructure in the process.
These actions directly oppose Biden’s climate agenda, which included rejoining the Paris Agreement and stricter fossil fuel regulations. Trump reaffirms his “drill, baby drill” approach, although analysts note limited production growth is likely due to current oil prices.
Environmental groups are expected to challenge Trump’s orders in court, potentially delaying their implementation.
