President Donald Trump will meet with “highly respected” oil refiners and distributors today to discuss expanding U.S. refining capacity, with the “ultimate goal” of lowering gasoline prices, a White House official said.
The meeting will include Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, Energy Secretary Chris Wright, National Energy Dominance Director Jarrod Agen, and representatives from small, medium-sized and large refineries and fuel distributors, according to the official.
“President Trump is laser-focused on ensuring his successful energy dominance agenda translates into the most cost savings possible at the pump for consumers,” White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers said in a statement.
“As part of that commitment, the President will meet with industry leaders to collaborate on the best ways to increase refining capacity, further unleash American energy dominance across the entire supply chain, and bring down prices for the American people,” Rogers said.
