President Trump plans to sign executive orders aimed at easing regulations on oil and natural gas production, declaring a national energy emergency, and studying trade issues. His goal is to lower energy prices and combat inflation, but it remains unclear whether these measures will be sufficient to achieve his desired economic impact.

All those details are according to an incoming White House official who insisted on anonymity while outlining Trump's plans during a call with reporters. Still, Trump pledged in his inaugural address that tariffs would be coming and said foreign countries would be paying the trade penalties, even though those taxes are currently paid by domestic importers and often passed along to consumers.
Overall, the Republican faces an array of challenges with fulfilling his ambitions to lower prices. Biden managed to see the inflation rate drop over two years yet he was leaving office with price growth still outpacing wages over the past four years. Energy prices permeate every part of the economy, so increasing U.S. production of oil, natural gas and other fossil fuels is critical to national security. Trump, who has pledged to restore U.S. “energy dominance," has complained that the Biden administration limited Alaska’s oil and gas production.
Republican lawmakers were quick to blame the Biden administration's $1.9 trillion pandemic relief, though inflation was a global phenomenon that points to factors beyond U.S. policy. Inflation further worsened after Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, pushing up energy and food prices.
