President-elect Donald Trump vowed to reverse President Joe Biden’s Monday executive order banning oil and gas drilling in certain American coastal waters once he returns to office.
The incoming commander-in-chief said in a Monday interview with conservative commentator Hugh Hewitt that the move to ban drilling in 625 million acres of coastal waters is “ridiculous.”
“It’s ridiculous. I will unban it. I have the right to unban it immediately,” Trump said.
“What’s he doing? Why is he doing it?”
“He doesn’t know what [625 million acres] is. He doesn’t even know what 625 million acres would look like,” he claimed.
The executive order from Biden said that he would restrict oil and natural gas drilling in the eastern Gulf of Mexico, the Northern Bering Sea
