The American Petroleum Institute (API) President and CEO Mike Sommers have issued the following statement on the results of the 2024 presidential election:
“We congratulate President Trump on his election victory. Energy was on the ballot, and voters sent a clear signal that they want choices, not mandates, and an all-of-the-above approach that harnesses our nation’s resources and builds on the successes of his first term. We look forward to working with the incoming administration and leaders in both parties to advance bipartisan solutions that unleash American energy as a driver of economic prosperity, environmental progress and stability around the world.”
