Trump urges increased US oil output
President Donald Trump ordered the Department of Defense to take measures to expand the production, refining, transportation, and storage capabilities of oil in the United States. This move aims to strengthen national security and military readiness. The presidential memorandum, issued under the Defense Production Act of 1950, classified these capabilities as essential industrial resources for national defense. Trump emphasized that the private sector cannot provide these capacities quickly enough due to funding constraints and bureaucratic hurdles. He also invoked the national emergency declared in January 2025 to expedite the expansion efforts through some legal exemptions.
