ENTRETIEN. Comment Donald Trump utilise l’énergie comme levier de puissance 23.02.2026

François Le Scornet, president and senior consultant at Carbonexit Consulting, analyzes Donald Trump's geopolitical strategy centered on energy dominance. Upon his return to power, Trump immediately signed "Unleashing American Energy," declaring a national energy emergency to accelerate oil, gas, and coal exploitation, alongside nuclear power revival, dismantling Biden's climate architecture. Key legislative actions included the "One Big Beautiful Bill" on July 4th, which eliminated credits for clean vehicles and other decarbonized energy support mechanisms inherited from the IRA. Further organizational shifts occurred on November 20th with the Department of Energy's reorganization, aligning with Trump's focus on fossil fuel and nuclear production, critical minerals, and emerging technologies like nuclear fusion, AI, and quantum computing. Trump also announced the US withdrawal from over 60 international organizations on January 7th, deeming them no longer serving American interests, though the legality of this move is contested.
