Trump's "Energy card": filling the SPR, lifting the LNG export ban, and exporting USA's energy to the entire world.
In his inaugural address, Trump promised to lower Energy prices, fill the USA Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR), lift restrictions on liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports, and export USA's Energy to the entire world. Trump also repeatedly promised to reduce Energy prices by 50% during his campaign. Analysts believe that Trump's commitment to lowering Energy prices by 50% is nearly impossible to achieve. In contrast, even during a global pandemic, which is a major disaster, the average Energy cost for Americans only decreased by less than 20%, and oil producers who verbally support Trump will see their profits squeezed.
