President Donald Trump is wasting no time making good on his promise to restore American energy dominance. On Friday afternoon, the 47th President assembled a who's who of energy industry titans in the East Room of the White House for what appears to be a major strategy session on unleashing domestic oil and gas production.
The Power Players
The meeting reads like a dream team for anyone who believes America should stop begging foreign nations for energy and start pumping our own. Representatives from Vitol, Shell, Chevron, and HKN Energy—including Ross Perot Jr.—gathered around a large table with some of the administration's heaviest hitters: Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, Vice President JD Vance, and Chief of Staff Susie Wiles.
This is what real leadership looks like, folks. While the Biden regime spent four years waging war on American energy workers, killing pipelines, and genuflecting to climate extremists, President Trump is rolling out the red carpet for the people who actually keep this country running.
A Telling Moment
In a striking visual, pool reporters observed Rubio, Burgum, and Vance gazing out at a demolition site from one of the East Room windows. While the exact context wasn't specified, the symbolism couldn't be more perfect: this administration is demolishing the failed energy policies of the past and building something new in their place.
Interior Secretary Burgum's presence is particularly significant. The former North Dakota governor knows the energy industry inside and out, and his department controls the federal lands where much of America's untapped energy wealth lies buried—wealth that the Biden administration tried desperately to keep locked away.
America First Energy Policy
Make no mistake: this meeting represents everything the radical left fears. An American President working hand-in-hand with American energy companies to produce American energy for American families. No Green New Deal fantasies. No begging OPEC for relief. No crushing regulations designed by unelected bureaucrats who've never worked a real job in their lives.
"Drill, baby, drill" isn't just a slogan—it's becoming official policy once again.
After four years of watching gas prices skyrocket while Biden's handlers lectured us about buying $60,000 electric vehicles, the adults are back in charge. And they're getting to work.
The question now isn't whether American energy will make a comeback. It's how quickly the Trump administration can undo the damage and remind the world why the United States should never, ever be energy-dependent on hostile foreign nations.
