Trump looks to expand offshore drilling

President Donald Trump will sign an executive order Friday aimed at expanding offshore drilling.

 

The order will direct a review of the locations available for offshore oil and gas exploration. It will also order a review of certain regulations governing offshore operations.

 

That's according to a White House official who shared details on condition of anonymity despite the president's criticism of the use of unnamed sources.

 

The White House says past administrations have been overly restrictive of offshore drilling.

 

Opponents say the practice puts oceans and wildlife at risk.
