Trump's astonishing move. The Pentagon is to help with oil.

In a presidential memorandum to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Trump invoked the Defense Production Act to support oil extraction projects and infrastructure development. The decree allows the Pentagon to make purchases and use financial instruments for necessary oil infrastructure deemed vital for national defense. Specific projects are not mentioned, and the impact of the memorandum remains unclear, with implementation details to be determined by the Pentagon. This initiative is part of a broader effort by the Trump administration to boost oil production in the U.S., including easing regulations and permitting new projects.
