Trump announces initiatives for “energy dominance”

Donald Trump has announced a series of initiatives to boost domestic energy production, saying his goal is to make America energy independent.

The president was flanked by Vice-president Mike Pence and Energy Secretary Rick Perry at an event that's part of a week-long series promoting his energy policy.



Trump said a key element of his strategy is to remove regulations which he says have hampered growth in the US energy sector.

Trump said that among his priorities are expanding and reviving the US nuclear sector, building a petroleum pipeline to Mexico, boosting exports of natural gas, and — perhaps most controversially — launching a program to expand offshore drilling.
