President Donald Trump is wasting no time delivering on his promise to restore American energy dominance, hosting a major meeting with oil industry leaders at the White House on Friday that was so well-attended, the commander-in-chief joked they'd need a ballroom to fit everyone.
"If we had a ballroom, we'd have over 1,000 people," Trump told attendees, surveying the packed room with evident satisfaction. The President even took a moment to check out the foundation of the ballroom space, remarking, "Wow, what a view, this is the door to the ballroom."
Energy Leaders Return to a Welcoming White House
What a difference an administration makes, folks. After four years of the Biden regime treating American energy producers like criminals—canceling pipelines, blocking drilling permits, and genuflecting to climate activists—the oil and gas industry finally has a friend in the Oval Office again.
The enthusiasm was palpable. Industry executives who spent years fighting off regulatory attacks are now being welcomed as partners in American prosperity. This is what "Drill, baby, drill" looks like in action.
Venezuela Relations Warming
In a notable diplomatic development, President Trump revealed that relations with Venezuela are improving significantly. "We're working very well with them," the President stated regarding the oil-rich South American nation.
This pragmatic approach to foreign policy stands in stark contrast to the incoherent mess left behind by the Biden administration. While details remain forthcoming, any improvement in Venezuelan relations could have significant implications for global oil markets and American energy security.
The Bottom Line
Less than three weeks into his second term, President Trump is already rebuilding the relationships and policies that made America energy independent during his first administration. While the legacy media will no doubt ignore this progress, the American people see a President working overtime to lower gas prices and restore our energy sector.
The question isn't whether Trump will deliver on energy dominance—it's whether the Democrats and their green energy cronies will ever admit they were wrong.
