President Donald Trump reignited his administration's ongoing energy dispute with California in a Truth Social post on Sunday, highlighting a previous executive order designed to restart oil operations tied to the Sable Pipeline and significantly expand offshore oil production off the state's coast.
When contacted for comment about Trump's post, California Governor Gavin Newsom's office directed Newsweek on Sunday to previous press releases from the governor on the issue.
The post noted Energy Secretary Chris Wright was to issue an order resulting in the “immediate production of 50,000 barrels of oil per day,” which the White House said would increase offshore oil production in California by 550 percent.
The action was executed under Defense Production Act authorities delegated through an executive order amended by Trump.
