American energy executives are expressing growing concerns about President Trump’s energy agenda amidst tariff threats, economic uncertainty, and efforts to lower oil prices. While the industry champions U.S. energy dominance and deregulation, the executives fear the administration’s push for tariffs could hurt their interests. During a major Houston conference, they hoped for relief from tariffs and cautious optimism permeated discussions. Despite these worries, executives still praised Trump’s administration, emphasizing a need to prioritize the energy dominance agenda over tariffs. The oil and gas sector's financial support for Trump underscores their complex relationship with his policies.
For all of their bravado about U.S. energy dominance and enthusiasm for deregulation, American energy executives are beginning to worry about President Trump's agenda.
Companies are trying to balance fighting for their interests, which often include free trade, with a strong desire not to offend the president.
We’re hopeful that as we continue these conversations on trade, that the energy dominance agenda becomes more important than the tariff agenda.
