"The President saw the pain caused in the energy industry by the price collapse and demand shock that resulted from the COVID-19 pandemic, and took decisive action to help," the White House told FOX Business in a statement. "America's energy industry is now contributing to the nation's economic recovery, and the President will continue to support the industry as it rebuilds."

In addition, the president is also scheduled to appear at a fundraiser event in Odessa called the "Permian Basin Special Event."

"The energy produced in the Permian Basin is vital to restoring the economy by providing affordable, reliable energy for American families and businesses," the White House said. "The President's deregulatory and streamlining actions helped make the United States the world's leading oil and natural gas producer, and the President remains committed to American Energy Dominance."

The White House added that America is "expanding manufacturing energy production, investing in new capital and technology, and creating jobs," as a result of the administration's economic policies, including tax cuts and its aggressive deregulatory agenda.
