Trump signs executive order to begin reversing Obama OCS decisions

US President Donald Trump signed an executive order
that reverses his predecessor’s Arctic offshore oil and gas leasing ban
and directs Interior Sec. Ryan Zinke to allow responsible development
of other US offshore areas’ energy resources. Oil and gas trade
associations and other business groups immediately hailed the
president’s Apr. 28 action. Environmental organizations and California,
Oregon, and Washington’s Democratic governors promptly condemned it.
