Energy Dominance is one of many focuses on President Trump’s agenda. In January President Donald Trump began his second term in office and hit the ground running.

Trump began his term signing a number of executive orders on his first day back in the White House, especially presidential directives centered around energy dominance.

Permian Basin representative, Congressman August Pfluger, has backed President Trump’s direction he has taken when it comes to the oil and gas industry. Pfluger said in a statement, quote:

“President Trump is turning campaign promises into measurable outcomes. With a Republican Congress working in tandem, we have begun reversing the damage done under the previous administration and laying the groundwork for a stronger, safer, and more self-reliant America. The first 100 days have made one thing abundantly clear: under Republican leadership, commonsense is being restored, and the American people are once again being prioritized. Change is never easy, but President Trump’s willingness to shake up a broken system has already produced tangible, meaningful victories and has set the tone for where we are going. Illegal border crossings have dropped to historic lows, energy production is surging in the Permian Basin, and Texas values are no longer under siege—they’re leading the way,” said Congressman August Pfluger.
