President Trump’s latest executive order on offshore drilling, issued Friday, is his last before marking his 100th day as president on Saturday.
The order begins the process of repealing a number of rules and regulations issued by former President Barack Obama, which Trump view as a barrier to jobs and economic growth by restricting energy development, in addition to revising Obama’s five-year leasing plan. The revision is expected to change Obama’s decision not to include Atlantic and Arctic drilling in the plan, which started in January.
