- President Donald Trump is expected to announce plans Tuesday to loosen a Biden-era rule that aimed to reduce planet-warming emissions of methane from oil and gas drilling.

Trump was to deliver the announcement as he campaigned in Texas, according to an administration official speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak on the record ahead of the official announcement.

The move aims to encourage more domestic drilling as Trump faces criticism over high fuel prices amid the U.S. war in Iran.
