"Trump also criticized government mandates toward the purchase of electric vehicles during Thursday’s address to GOP senators, echoing an often-repeated line on the campaign trail."
"Presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump delivered a campaign-style energy address during a day of meetings with congressional Republicans on Thursday, hitting on trademark themes like “drill baby drill” and pledging to reverse Biden administration policies he said hamper fossil fuel development and favor electric vehicles.
More than half a dozen lawmakers who spoke to POLITICO and described the pair of meetings — first with the House GOP and then with Senate Republicans — said Trump’s remarks were light on policy details, and he did not directly address his interest in repealing the Inflation Reduction Act. He also did not indicate which of its sprawling clean energy tax incentives Republicans should target for repeal if the GOP wins control of the White House and Congress in November’s election.
“He spent a third of his time talking about energy — in the context that energy is an inflation multiplier, that energy drives inflation,” said Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kan.). “And he spoke about how Joe Biden has weaponized the federal government against American energy.”
