The U.S. "Energy Dominance" Strategy

Summary

Since January 20, 2025, the Trump administration has executed the most aggressive restructuring of U.S. energy policy in modern history. Framed as a "National Energy Emergency" and codified through executive orders, legislation, and regulatory overhaul, the strategy aims to maximize domestic production of fossil fuels, nuclear power, and critical minerals while systematically dismantling the renewable energy and electric vehicle frameworks established under the Biden administration. The administration now directly or indirectly influences approximately 20% of global oil production, from Canada through Guyana and Venezuela, giving Washington unprecedented leverage over global energy markets and geopolitical outcomes.
