President-elect Donald Trump expressed frustration over President Biden's recent decision to prohibit offshore energy drilling in vast swathes of federal waters, claiming it hampers his transition to power.
The president-elect Donald Trump complained on Tuesday that President Joe Biden was undermining his transition to power a day after Biden decided to prohibit offshore energy drilling in most federal waters. Biden , whose term expires in two weeks, used his authority under the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act to protect areas offshore along the east and west coasts, the eastern Gulf of Mexico, and parts of the Bering Sea in Alaska from future oil and gas lease sales.
In total, approximately 625 million acres of federal waters were excluded from energy exploration in a measure that can likely only be overturned by action of Congress
