Fox News: Trump plans to 'immediately' reverse Biden's 'ridiculous' ban on new oil and gas drilling along US coast
President-elect Donald Trump plans to reverse President Biden's recent executive order banning offshore drilling along most U.S. coastlines, which affects approximately 625 million acres. Trump argues that expanding oil and gas drilling is essential for the economy, while Biden's order aims to protect coastal environments and combat climate change.
However, Trump's ability to overturn Biden's ban is complicated by a 70-year-old law that restricts presidential reversals of such actions without congressional approval. Trump's team criticizes Biden's decision as politically motivated and detrimental to American energy independence.
