President Donald Trump, during an Oct. 31 rally in Pennsylvania, announced an executive order to protect fracking as he focuses on putting Democratic nominee Joe Biden on the defensive after the former vice president’s comments about potentially limiting or ending the practice.

“Under my Administration, we are no longer beholden to foreign powers or domestic radicals. We are powering our Nation on our own terms,” Trump said, according to the White House, which published details of his executive order to protect hydraulic fracturing for natural gas.
