The energy giant was vague on details, but analysts say the changes is likely to include less spending on renewable sources and a bigger investment in oil and natural gas production.

The 10 percent tariff the president said he might impose in March could cause U.S. refineries to cut production and lead to higher prices.

To wean itself off Russian natural gas, Europe has found new sources of energy, including imports from the United States. But high costs are straining the economy.

Some oil refineries will probably struggle to replace imported crude oil if President Trump imposes 25 percent tariffs on products from Canada and Mexico.

A court ruling requires the British government to consider the potential climate impact of the oil and gas produced in the North Sea.

Oil and gas executives welcomed President Trump’s early moves on energy policy, but many said they did not plan to increase production unless prices rose significantly.

His executive orders ultimately seek to make the market for oil and gas as big as possible.

Most major economies are investing in ever-cheaper solar and wind power. The United States risks further ceding a global market to China.

The president said he’d declare an energy emergency, increase drilling and end support for electric cars. His pivot to oil and gas follows the hottest year in recorded history.

The former North Dakota governor told senators at his confirmation hearing that he sees limits on energy production as a national security threat.

The industry is pumping ever more oil and natural gas, but it is doing so with only about three-quarters as many workers as it employed a decade ago.

When it comes to gas exports and competition with China, the two administrations share a similar vision, the top U.S. energy diplomat says.

Wright, the founder of a fracking firm, testified that he would back all forms of low-carbon energy as well as gas, oil and coal.

Harold G. Hamm, the founder of the Oklahoma-based Continental Resources, and other oil and gas companies stand to profit from Donald Trump’s energy policies.

An attempt was made to destroy the final working pipeline carrying Russian gas energy into Europe, Moscow claims.
