The Trump administration set to announce a major shift in climate rules, rolling back an Obama-era policy regulating fossil fuels.

On that and more, the U.S.

Interior Secretary Doug Burgum joins us now for more.

Mr. Secretary, you have been a busy man over the last week.

I actually want to start with Project Volt and then we'll get to the EPA and what's going to happen with regulations around fossil fuels and such.

Mr. Secretary, what is Project Volt and how should I be thinking about this in comparison to, say, the SPR?

Mr. Secretary, you certainly alluded to it.

China's got

a stranglehold over critical minerals and America needs to do something about it.

And overwhelmingly, there's agreement on this program often, almost weekly, to do something about it.

What is less understood is why they have that stranglehold.

You talked about pricing and dumping.

What about regulations?

This is typically quite a dirty process.

Is that held back production domestically as well?

Mr. Secretary, just quickly, because people will hate us if we're talking about wind farms when payrolls comes out in about 60 seconds time, but I want to squeeze this in.

Courts, as you know, have ruled against your administration's stock work orders on these offshore wind farms.

Are you going to appeal that?

Mr. Secretary, we'll talk another time a little bit more about this, no doubt.

Thank you, sir.
