Chevron CEO applauds Trump administration’s energy policy shift during Permian Basin tour

Chevron CEO Mike Wirth discusses how US energy dominance ties to national security while praising Trump-era policies.

In an exclusive conversation with FOX Business’ Maria Bartiromo during a tour of the Permian Basin, Chevron CEO Mike Wirth said America’s vast energy resources are not just an economic advantage – but also a matter of national defense – while praising President Donald Trump’s energy initiatives.

“Energy security and national security are linked,” Wirth said in a preview of his interview on “Sunday Morning Futures,” which will air in full on “Mornings with Maria” Monday.

“The U.S. is blessed with an abundance of natural resources,” he continued. “And we now have an administration that wants to see the energy industry invest in those resources to make sure that America’s energy strength translates into economic strength and competitiveness and, importantly, security.”
