Trump expands emergency powers for US energy supply

 United States President Donald Trump moved on Monday to expand domestic energy capacity across multiple sectors using emergency powers, citing national security and economic risks.

The measures cover oil, natural gas, coal, and electricity infrastructure, including production, refining, transmission, storage, and large-scale energy projects. The directives, issued under the Defense Production Act, allow federal support such as funding, purchase commitments, and accelerated development to increase capacity.

The move builds on Trump's earlier declaration of a national energy emergency on January 20, 2025, when he said "Drill, baby, drill," as the administration pushes to increase output, cut costs, and reduce reliance on external energy sources.
