Biden would "abolish the entire U.S. oil industry" in Pennsylvania, says Trump

Share On

President Donald Trump has wrapped up the first of three campaign rallies in Pennsylvania, where he told supporters that he wanted to discuss an issue of "existential importance" as he focuses on former Vice-President Joe Biden's policies on energy.

Pennsylvania is the second leading producer of natural gas in the country behind Texas.

Trump claims that Biden would "abolish the entire U.S. oil industry."

Trump says that means no fracking and no jobs for Pennsylvania families, adding "Biden's plan is an economic death sentence for Pennsylvania's energy sector."

He is seizing on Biden's comments in last week's debate that he would "transition away from the oil industry."

But Biden sought to clarify later that he was talking about ending federal subsidies for oil companies.

He also said "we're not getting rid of fossil fuels for a long time."

Biden has also repeatedly pledged not to abolish fracking.

Instead, he has called for no new fracking permits on federal lands.

Melania Trump is set to make appearance for President Donald Trump

Melania Trump is set to make her first solo campaign-trail appearance of 2020 for President Donald Trump.

Trump's reelection campaign says the first lady will appear at an event Tuesday in Atglen, Pennsylvania, that will be moderated by former White House counsellor Kellyanne Conway.

The campaign says she will share the president's agenda with Pennsylvanians.

The first lady has not appeared at one of the president's campaign events since June 2019 in Orlando, Florida, where the president formally announced his bid for a second term.

She had been scheduled to headline campaign fundraisers back in March, but those events were cancelled due to the coronavirus outbreak.

Mrs. Trump recently recovered from a bout with COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus.

AFN chief says talks of Alberta separation 'irresponsible,' points to treaties

The national chief of the Assembly of First Nations says talk of Alberta separatism is 'irresponsible' and it's "not smart" for politicians to make statements about it without consulting with First Nations first. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has introduced a bill that would make it easier for Albertans to launch referendums on various topics — including splitting from Canada. Smith has pointed to growing alienation in her province and frustration with Ottawa, saying those wanting to separate "are not fringe voices." National Chief Cindy Woodhouse Nepinak says any effort by Alberta to split

We stopped a nuclear war between India and Pakistan: Trump

US President Donald Trump said in a statement today that his administration helped broker an immediate ceasefire between Pakistan and India, both nuclear-armed countries, on Saturday. Trump said that I said, let's do a lot of trade with you, stop the war. If you don't stop it, we won't do any trade. Trump, praising himself, said that before me, probably no one has ever used trade the way I have used it. The President said that when I talked about stopping trade, suddenly they said that we think we are going to stop and they stopped the conflict. Meanwhile, China has called the reports of s
