Donald Trump told oil industry executives he would dismantle Joe Biden’s pro-electric vehicle agenda as he asked for $1bn (£800m) to help return him to the White House, it has been claimed.
The Republican presidential candidate pledged to roll back the Biden administration’s environmental rules at a meeting with fossil fuel bosses last month, according to the Washington Post, and called recently introduced EV rules “ridiculous”.
The Biden administration has also frozen permits for exports of liquefied natural gas (LNG), citing environmental concerns.
The industry has grown dramatically in recent years thanks to the shale boom. The freeze has been widely opposed by the gas industry and Republicans have tried to overturn it.
Mr Trump told gas executives that he would overturn the freeze immediately. “You’ll get it on the first day,” he reportedly said.
