Trump promised to 20 executives at Mar-a-Lago dinner to increase
oil drilling and reverse pollution rules among other pitches.
T
he former US president made his jaw-dropping pitch, which the paper described as “remarkably blunt and transactional”, at a dinner at his Mar-a-Lago home and club.
In front of more than 20 executives, including from Chevron, Exxon and Occidental Petroleum, he promised to increase oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, remove hurdles to drilling in the Alaskan Arctic, and reverse new rules designed to cut car pollution. He would also overturn the Biden administration’s
decision in January to pause new natural gas export permits which have been denounced as “climate bombs”.
