BYRON CENTER, Mich.—In separate speeches on Aug. 14, former President Donald Trump and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), shed more light on their plans for remedying the “affordability crisis” they say is plaguing America.
At a rally in Asheville, North Carolina, Trump announced a specific goal. He pledged that if he wins reelection, energy costs will be reduced by at least 50 percent within the first 12 to 18 months of his new term.
“My administration will issue rapid approvals for new energy infrastructure, unlock cooling, energy independence, and energy dominance,” said Trump, who served as the 45th president from 2017 to 2021.
He also promised: “On my first day back in the Oval Office, I will sign an executive order directing every Cabinet secretary and agency head to use every tool and authority at their disposal to defeat inflation and to bring consumer prices rapidly down.”
