Washington, D.C. – January 8, 2025 – In a bold move ahead of the upcoming election, former U.S. President Donald Trump has vowed to reverse President Joe Biden’s offshore drilling ban on his first day in office, if re-elected. Trump has promised to reinstate policies aimed at boosting American energy production and reducing dependence on foreign oil, calling Biden’s decision to limit offshore drilling detrimental to the U.S. economy.
Trump’s statement comes as part of his campaign’s broader agenda to restore jobs and stimulate economic growth in the energy sector, which he argues has suffered due to restrictions on fossil fuel extraction. His position is in contrast to Biden’s environmental policies, which aim to reduce carbon emissions and promote renewable energy. Trump’s commitment to reversing the ban has sparked debate, with supporters highlighting the potential economic benefits, while opponents warn of the environmental consequences.
