U.S. To Overtake Russia as World’s Biggest Oil Producer

With mainstream media and establishment politicians stacked against him from the moment he announced his run for the presidency, Donald J. Trump has been in an ongoing pitched battle to communicate his plans – and his eventual successes – to Americans.

Immigration: In its effort to fight so-called “sanctuary” cities and states, the Justice Department filed a lawsuit March 6 against the state of California for obstructing federal immigration law “and putting the interests of criminal aliens ahead of the well-being of American citizens.”

Oil: The U.S. will overtake Russia to become the world’s largest oil producer by 2023, according to the International Energy Agency, reflecting Trump administration policies such as approving major oil pipelines, opening up areas to drilling and regulation reform.

President Trump’s administration already has outpaced President Reagan in its implementation of agenda items proposed by a prominent conservative Washington, D.C., think tank. Nearly two-thirds of the 334 items called for by the Heritage Foundation’s legendary “Mandate for Leadership” blueprint have been accomplished in Trump’s first year in office.

Defense: Noting Russia and China are not abiding by international norms, the Defense Department’s new Nuclear Posture Review focuses on a nuclear deterrent that is “modern, robust, flexible, resilient, ready and tailored to deter 21st century threats and reassure allies.” Reacting to critics, the administration says it is not “a new arms race, nor is it a return to the Cold War. Rather, it is a hard-eyed view of the world as it is.” (Read more from “U.S. To Overtake Russia as World’s Biggest Oil Producer” HERE)
