Reduce federal restrictions on oil and gas

Higgins supports reducing federal constraints on American oil and gas companies so they can compete with foreign producers. He says he would review and adjust Obama administration mandates and executive orders affecting methane, carbon dioxide, and energy operations on federal land. He also says he would consider retaliatory trade measures against Saudi Arabia and advocate for a strong U.S. posture toward major oil-producing countries.

Context: The specific rules to be changed and any proposed trade measures are not identified.

In their own words

I would very carefully review and adjust every one of the hundred or so Obama administration mandates and executive orders
