The presumptive Republican presidential candidate, Donald Trunk vowed on Thursday to pull back some of America's most determined environmental actions against the declining U.S. oil and coal industries to strengthen national security.
The suggestion includes the United States to be pulled out of the U.N. global climate agreement, accept the Keystone XL oil pipeline from Canada and revoke the action by President Barack Obama to cut U.S. emissions and hedge water channels from industrial pollution.
"Any regulation that's outdated, unnecessary, bad for workers or contrary to the national interest will be scrapped and scrapped completely, we're going to do all this while taking proper regard for rational environmental concerns." Trump stated to an estimated 7,700 audience at the Williston Basin Petroleum Conference held in Bismarck, an oil-rich region in North Dakota.
Receiving a warm applause from the spectators, it was Trump's first statement describing the energy strategy he would push if elected president of the U.S.
The declaration revealed a great contrast between the New York billionaire and his Democratic rivals for the White House, Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton, who campaign against fossile fuel and forwarding renewable energy sources to battle climate change.
The statement also gained different views from both environmental parties and the oil industry. The environmental sector described the comments as "frightening". The oil industry applauded the comments by Trump saying, "It's simple. If Trump wins, oil field workers will be happy. If Clinton wins, oil workers will be unhappy," said Derrick Alexander, an operations manager at oilfield services firm Integrated Productions Services.
