President-elect Donald Trump criticized President Biden's last-minute decision to ban oil and gas drilling across 625 million acres of US coastal territory, calling it 'ridiculous'. Trump pledged to immediately reverse the ban upon taking office, asserting his right to do so and highlighting the economic importance of domestic energy production.
President-elect Donald Trump blasted President Biden's last-minute policy decisions on Monday during an interview with Hugh Hewitt and knocked the president for making a 'smooth transition' more difficult. 'I see it just came over that Biden has banned all oil and gas drilling across 625 million acres of US coastal territory.
Trump told Hewitt, 'We have oil and gas at a level that nobody else has, and we're going to take advantage of it. When I see somebody saying he's going to ban 625 million acres, he doesn't know what that is, he doesn't even know what 625 million acres would look like, and we can't let that happen to our country. It's really our greatest economic asset, and we're not going to let that happen to our country.
