U.S. Energy Secretary Hails Record Oil Production Amid Ongoing Iran War
U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright touted American oil production in Midland, Texas, despite high gas prices and low presidential approval ratings.
Wright, part of the Great American Energy Comeback Tour, celebrated record-breaking U.S. energy production, particularly in the Permian Basin.
The nation exported over 100 million metric tons of natural gas in 2025, with a projected increase to break this record again in 2026 and 2027, according to the Department of Energy.
This growth is attributed to President Donald Trump's administration, Wright said, emphasizing the importance of trusting American businesses and entrepreneurs to lower energy costs.
