President Trump late Monday issued a pair of executive orders that seek to bolster oil and gas drilling — including in contentious areas of Alaska.
One order seeks to open up drilling in Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and National Petroleum Reserve.
The other initiates a review of all policies that “burden the development of domestic energy resources.”
The latter order also specifically targets former President Biden’s electric vehicle push — stating that it is U.S. policy “to eliminate the ‘electric vehicle (EV) mandate.’”
This story is developing and will be updated.
