It’s not clear what Trump was referring to, or how his social media decree would impact actual US policy. Trump already signed an executive order earlier in his term declaring a national energy emergency and directed the Environmental Protection Agency to boost fossil fuel production and distribution.
US President Donald Trump said he would look to counter China’s economic advantage from coal-based electricity by authorising his administration to ramp up production of energy from the fossil fuel.
“I am authorizing my Administration to immediately begin producing Energy with BEAUTIFUL, CLEAN COAL,” Trump wrote in a social media post.
