Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said on Friday that he has directed the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management to hold an offshore oil and gas lease sale in the Gulf of America later this year.

“Unleashing America’s energy resources will lower prices at the pump, at the grocery store and across all aspects of American life while strengthening our national security,” Burgum said in a statement.
