Description

Today, POLITICO Energy host Josh Siegel sits down for an extended interview with Mike Sommers, CEO of the American Petroleum Institute, to discuss the state of the U.S. oil and gas under President Donald Trump’s energy dominance agenda. The industry has secured policy wins like tax cuts, regulatory rollbacks, and expanded lease sales, but it faces short-term challenges like low prices, layoffs, tariffs, and climate lawsuits. They discuss what’s been accomplished under Trump 2.0 and what still needs to get done.
