Trump’s latest oil lease sale made $58 Million. U.S. oil production is still wavering.

The Trump administration recently brought in $58 million from an oil lease sale in New Mexico’s Permian Basin, a move it touts as a win for its “energy dominance” agenda. But signs suggest U.S. oil production may be slipping. POLITICO’s Ben Lefebvre breaks down the sale’s details, how U.S. oil production is wavering, and what it means for Trump’s energy goals and allies. Plus, a new bipartisan push to speed up energy and infrastructure projects is taking shape on Capitol Hill.
