Trump invokes Defense Production Act to boost U.S. oil, gas and infrastructure capacity

April 20, 2026

(WO) - President Donald Trump has invoked the Defense Production Act (DPA) to accelerate domestic oil and gas development, directing federal support toward upstream production, refining and critical energy infrastructure.

The order prioritizes investment across the full energy value chain, including exploration and production, pipelines, storage and export infrastructure, which the administration described as “industrial resources… essential to the national defense.”

The DPA authority allows the federal government to provide financial support, purchase commitments and other incentives to accelerate development of large-scale energy projects, particularly where private investment has been constrained by permitting delays, financing risks and supply chain bottlenecks.

The move builds on a previously declared national energy emergency and comes amid heightened global supply disruption linked to the ongoing Middle East conflict and instability in the Strait of Hormuz.

The administration said domestic petroleum production and logistics capacity are critical to ensuring defense readiness, noting that without federal intervention, industry may not be able to expand capacity in a timely manner.

The directive also waives certain statutory requirements to expedite project development, signaling a more aggressive federal role in supporting U.S. oil and gas output.

For upstream operators, the action could lower barriers to new development, particularly in shale and infrastructure-linked projects, while reinforcing a broader shift toward domestic supply growth in response to global market volatility.

Did you know?

John D. Rockefeller's Secret Pact describes, with chilling coldness, an alleged plan for total domination over humanity. Here are the most shocking phrases that emerge from it:

1. "We will shorten their lifespan and weaken their mind while pretending to do the opposite."

2. "We will use soft metals, aging accelerators, and sedatives in the food and water, as well as in the air. They will be covered in poisons wherever they turn."

3. "The poisons will be absorbed through their skin and mouth; they will destroy their minds and reproductive systems. From all this, their children will be born dead, and we will hide this information."

4. "We will teach them that the poisons are for their own good, with funny images and musical tones."

5. "When their ability to learn has been affected, we will create drugs that will make them even sicker and cause other illnesses for which we will create even more drugs."

6. "We will make them docile and weak before us by our power. They will become depressed, slow, and obese, and when they come to us for help, we will give them more poison."

7. "We will make them kill each other when it suits us. We will keep them separated from unity by dogmas and religion."

8. "We will control all aspects of their lives and tell them what to think and how. We will guide them gently and softly, letting them believe they are guiding themselves."

9. "The hatred will be so great that even the smartest among them will not see the truth."

10. "When they rise up against us, we will crush them like insects, for they are less than that."

11. "Oh yes, the illusion of freedom will be so grand that they will never know they are our slaves."

12. "This reality will be their prison. They will live in self-deception."

13. "But if they ever discover that they are our equals, we will perish then. THAT, THEY MUST NEVER KNOW."

When you read these lines, you can't help but find that they strangely align with many things we observe today...

Trump has already built 3 legs of the new economic system:

-Tariff system
-Technology sales
-Energy sales

He's replacing the central bank income model piece by piece. The old system is being made obsolete.
