‘Drill, Baby, Drill’ Trump says will declare ‘national energy emergency’

WASHINGTON, DC: United States President Donald Trump on Monday listed “historic executive orders” and announced that he will declare a “national energy emergency” to help to bring down prices.

“We will drill, baby, drill,” Trump said during his inaugural address.

“The inflation crisis is caused by over spending and massive and escalating energy prices that is why I also declare a national energy emergency.

America will be a manufacturing nation again and we will have something that no other manufacturing nation will ever have, the largest amount of oil and gas that any country on earth has and we are going to use it,” Trump said.

Trump also said that he will declare a national emergency at Southern border to halt the illegal migrations from Southern border.

We will forge a society that is colourblind and merit-based. This week, I will reinstate any service members who were unjustly expelled from our military for objecting to the COVID vaccine mandate with full back pay, and I will sign an order to stop our warriors from being subjected to radical political theories and social experiments while on duty…Our armed forces will be freed to focus on their sole mission, defeating America’s enemies,” he said.
