The President-elect’s extravaganza of executive orders will include a call for a “national energy emergency” to boost production and depress consumer costs.
Donald Trump’s wave of presidential action is expected to take place on his very first day back in the White House, including an order to “unleash Alaska’s natural resource potential”, according to an insider from Trump’s team.
Such action would aid Alaskan liquefied natural gas exports, as well as open up paths to support allies across the Asia-Pacific.
Trump will hope to create “conditions that facilitate investment, that facilitate job creation, that facilitate the production of America’s natural resources, and the result will be lower prices for the American people,” an incoming energy adviser told Axios.

“National security is a key issue here,” the adviser said.
“Energy is fundamental to our foreign policy, and reducing American energy production curtails our ability to exercise our foreign policies.”
The Republican’s eagerness to reverse policies from Biden’s administration might increase America’s greenhouse gas emissions or simply depress the rate of reductions.
Ahead of his inauguration in just a few hours time, Donald Trump has revealed that he will address issues of border security, energy and the cost of living for families as top priorities during his first day in the Oval Office.
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
The Republican’s first port of call is understood to involve strong action to dramatically crack down on illegal immigration across the nation.
With the support of local official and state police, the proposed scheme would be the largest deportation plan in US history.
He has even suggested he has “no problem” with deploying military and national guard troops to support his agenda.
His stance on illegal immigration has been widely criticised, including by Pope Francis, who has condemned the plan as a “disgrace”.
He has also vowed to bring back his “Muslim travel ban”, banning people travelling from a number of Muslim countries

To enhance border security, Trump will search for funds to support a comprehensive border security package – including the development of a wall between the US and Mexico.
He has also vowed to bring back his “Muslim travel ban”, banning people travelling from a number of Muslim countries.
Previously, he announced: “We will seal our border and bring back the travel ban.
“Remember the famous travel ban? We didn’t take people from certain areas of the world,” he said, declaring that the ban would include refugees fleeing Gaza.
“We’re not taking them from infested countries,” he said.
