WASHINGTON D.C February 27, 2026 — The White House on Friday released a video clip of President Donald J. Trump proclaiming the United States “THE NUMBER ONE ENERGY SUPERPOWER, BY FAR, ANYWHERE ON EARTH,” underscoring America’s resurgence in global energy dominance under his administration’s aggressive “Drill Baby Drill” agenda.
In remarks delivered at a rally at the Port of Corpus Christi in Texas on Thursday, President Trump stated: “With the men and women here today, we’re unleashing America’s potential, strengthening our security, increasing our prosperity… and cementing America’s status as the number one energy superpower, by far, anywhere on earth.”
The 76-second video clip, posted by the official @WhiteHouse account on X (formerly Twitter), quickly garnered significant engagement, highlighting the administration’s emphasis on energy independence as a cornerstone of national security and economic prosperity.
According to official data released by the U.S. Energy Information Administration and referenced in White House briefings:
– U.S. crude oil production reached a record high of more than 13.6 million barrels per day in 2025.
– Total U.S. oil and liquid fuels production stands at 24 million barrels per day — exceeding the combined output of Russia and Saudi Arabia.
– Natural gas production has surged to approximately 110 billion cubic feet per day, nearly matching the combined production of Russia, Iran, and China.
– The United States set a world-first milestone in 2025 by exporting over 100 million metric tons of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in a single year.
The White House credited these achievements to sweeping policy changes implemented since President Trump’s return to office, including:
– Opening hundreds of millions of acres of federal lands for oil, gas, and coal development.
– Approving nearly 6,000 drilling permits on federal lands — a 55% increase over the previous comparable period.
– Ending Biden-era restrictions on LNG exports and rolling back regulatory burdens estimated to have cost the economy over $1.3 trillion.
– Committing $625 million to modernize America’s clean coal industry and accelerating nuclear energy investments.
“American energy dominance is delivering real benefits to hardworking families across the country,” the White House stated in a supporting fact sheet published earlier this week.
The announcement comes amid broader administration efforts to lower energy costs for American consumers, refill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, and ensure reliable power for emerging sectors such as data centers powering artificial intelligence.
President Trump has repeatedly contrasted current production levels with what he described as a “dead country” energy policy under the previous administration, pledging continued expansion to maintain U.S. leadership “by far” on the global stage.
The video clip is now circulating widely on social media, reinforcing the narrative of a new “Golden Age” of American energy strength.
