President Trump is set to sign an executive order this afternoon to “unleash American energy” and revitalize the coal industry in America, a promise he made on the campaign trail.
The President is hosting mining company executives in the East Room of the White House as he signs the order.
Executives from Peabody Energy Corp., Core Natural Resources Inc., and Ramaco Resources are reportedly in attendance.
The executive order will “unleash the might of our beautiful clean coal industry in this country, which is a reliable energy source also for AI,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said during a press briefing earlier.
Per Bloomberg:
In an executive order Trump is set to sign Tuesday afternoon, the president will direct a number of steps by the federal government meant to reinvigorate coal said a senior White House official. The actions including emphasizing the US is back in the business of selling coal mining rights on federal land and ordering the rock be designated as a critical mineral. Other steps include accelerating the export of US coal and related technologies.
