Trump’s foreign policy and the price at the pump

Gas prices have fallen since Donald Trump took office, but experts are debating how much credit President Donald Trump deserves – or if voters are even noticing. POLITICO’s James Bikales joins host Josh Siegel to explain how OPEC’s production moves, record U.S. output and Trump’s foreign policy choices have shaped the current energy landscape. They also discuss whether rising electricity costs, fueled by AI data centers, are becoming the new political flashpoint.  Josh Siegel is an energy reporter for POLITICO and the host of POLITICO Energy.  Nirmal Mulaikal is the co-host and producer of POLITICO Energy.   Alex Keeney is a senior audio producer at POLITICO.   Ben Lefebvre is the deputy energy editor at POLITICO.  Matt Daily is the energy editor for POLITICO.  For more news on energy and the environment, subscribe to Power Switch, our free evening newsletter: https://www.politico.com/power-switch  And for even deeper coverage and analysis, read our Morning Energy newsletter by subscribing to POLITICO Pro: https://subscriber.politicopro.com/newsletter-archive/morning-energy  Our theme music is by Pran Bandi.  Learn more about your ad choices.
