President Donald Trump on Feb. 14 issued an executive order formally creating a National Energy Dominance Council, a White House panel that will coordinate and steer energy policy “to achieve energy dominance.”

Trump vowed to establish a Cabinet-level energy council during the campaign to “unleash American energy,” primarily oil and gas production.
