The economic outlook for the oil and gas industry has darkened because of President Donald Trump’s new tariffs. But so far, there’s been no public outcry from people within the industry – at least for now. POLITICO’s Ben Lefebvre breaks down why that’s the case, what people are really saying behind the scenes and how there may be more pain to come for the industry. Plus, EPA has approved Occidental Petroleum’s applications to inject carbon dioxide at its carbon capture project in Texas.
