Trump's war cry in support of the oil drilling industry had always been - 'Drill baby drill'. Another of Trump's favorite had been fracking during his first term. Fracking had been causing damage to the environment. But that is secondary as Trump does not believe in saving the environment.
Trump is against renewals, against EVs, solar panels and wind turbines. EVs and solar panels are against his agenda of fossil fuel extraction. Wind turbines are killing his bird. Climate changes to him is a hoax, when the rest of the world is telling a different story and struggling to save the earth. Wonder whether Trump has any huge investments in the oil industry, or some of his donors are big investors as well.
Now more sanctions are being raised against Russian energy that are touted to cost Russia billions. Wonder how much such additional sanctions will cost the EU and other allies. The USA is gloating that it has enough oil and gas for it to take this step. In other words, the USA already has plans to unload such excess oil and gas on the EU, at multiple times the cost, under threat of tariffs if the EU does not buy more of USA energy.
With Trump's eyes on incorporating Canada into its 51st state, Canada has rich oil and other mineral resources that Trump can really exploit. How do the Canadians view such a move will be interesting to watch.

Canada is already an obedient dog of the USA. Whether Trump takes over or not is not important. Trump just tell them to jump, and they only will ask 'How high'?
