President Biden has implemented a comprehensive ban on offshore drilling in significant coastal areas, protecting over 253 million hectares of waters amidst concerns over climate change.
Biden emphasizes that the minimal fossil fuel potential in the banned areas does not outweigh the environmental and public health risks associated with offshore drilling.
Trump's incoming press secretary criticized Biden's decision, claiming it was a politically motivated act against the will of the American people who support increased drilling.
The ban could complicate Trump’s plans to ramp up fossil fuel production, as it may be legally challenging to reverse without congressional approval.
