US President-elect Donald Trump is poised to order changes meant to encourage domestic oil and gas development immediately after his Jan. 20 inauguration.
“President Trump is going to get to work on day one, within seconds of his arrival at the Oval Office,” Karoline Leavitt, a spokeswoman for the Trump-Vance transition team, told Fox News Tuesday. She said that includes executive orders “to drill, baby, drill,” and “to expedite permits for drilling and for fracking all over this country so we can immediately bring down the cost of living.”
