President Trump is set to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping at the end of this month in South Korea – their first encounter since 2019. And thanks to Trump’s policies, America is surging back toward energy independence, shaking off the chokehold of the Communist regime like never before.
Under Trump’s leadership, the United States is roaring back to energy dominance. The “Unleashing American Energy” executive order—signed on day one back in January 2025—was a bombshell. It cut through red tape, opened federal lands for drilling, and put America first in producing affordable, reliable power. Then came the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” which streamlined permits, funded pipelines, and eliminated wasteful green subsidies that had drained taxpayer dollars for years.
Take General Motors, for example. The auto giant just posted a staggering $1.6 billion loss after the electric vehicle subsidy was axed. Why? Because the EV market was built on government handouts—propped up by your tax dollars. Now, GM is scaling back production of electric cars, a major reversal from its 2021 promise to ditch gas-powered vehicles by 2035. Trump’s actions have effectively dismantled what remained of the Green New Deal. As the former EPA Chief of Staff put it.
Contrast that with “Sleepy Joe” Biden’s energy disaster. His policies bowed to the radical left—pushing windmills and electric fantasies while shutting down pipelines and banning federal leases. The result? Skyrocketing gas prices, dependency on OPEC, and a nation begging for oil. Remember this?
Think of how much farther along we’d be without those wasted years.
Now, Trump’s flipped the script—drill, baby, drill! Oil production in the Gulf of Mexico is climbing fast, with 2025 and 2026 expected to bring hundreds of thousands of new barrels daily. And Alaska’s LNG pipeline project—set to begin construction in 2026—will pump 3.5 billion cubic feet of gas a day from the North Slope, bolstering global energy security.
Meanwhile, the EPA’s new Renewable Fuel Standard rule, announced in June 2025, is pushing suppliers to break ties with foreign oil by increasing biofuel volumes for 2026 and 2027. It’s a total reversal from Biden’s Keystone-canceling, climate-pandering days. His so-called “green transition” was a socialist fever dream that cost jobs, jacked up energy bills, and left America weaker on the world stage.
If we’d stayed the course after Trump’s first term, we’d already be exporting energy like never before. But we’re catching up fast. And the fearmongers who spent decades preaching doom—John Kerry, Al Gore, and their climate cult—are losing credibility. Kerry once predicted catastrophe while flying private jets around the globe.
It never happened.
And Al Gore? He’s been wrong for decades. Back in a 1982 CBS report, he claimed 25% of Florida would be underwater within decades.
Well, here we are in 2025—and America’s thriving.
Trump’s realism trumps their hysteria. His approach balances drilling, mining, and smart renewables—all focused on strengthening America’s security and independence.
Now comes the next challenge: China. Beijing recently tightened rare earth export controls, restricting metals vital for everything from electric vehicles to fighter jets. China controls 80% of the global supply—and it’s weaponizing that power. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent summed it up best: it’s China versus the world.
Trump isn’t backing down. The U.S. is ramping up domestic mining—California alone supplied 16% of global rare earth output in a single year—and new mines are in the works. Wyoming’s rich reserves are next.
But production isn’t enough. Trump is forging partnerships with allies like Australia and Canada, investing in recycling tech, and developing new extraction methods to free America from China’s grip. Critics say his tariffs started this conflict—but even CBS News admits the truth.
Trump’s not just reacting—he’s rebuilding America’s strength to the point where we can bring China to the negotiating table.
For those who remember the gas lines of the 1970s, the lesson is clear: dependence breeds weakness. Energy security isn’t just about keeping the lights on—it’s about national defense, economic freedom, and ensuring that no foreign power ever holds America hostage again.
