Washington: Donald Trump will tout surging US exports of oil and natural gas during a week of events aimed at highlighting the country's growing energy dominance.

The President also plans to emphasise that after decades of relying on foreign energy supplies, the US is on the brink of becoming a net exporter of oil, gas, coal and other energy resources.

As with previous White House policy-themed weeks, such as a recent one focusing on infrastructure, the framing is designed to draw attention to Mr Trump's domestic priorities and away from more politically treacherous matters such as multiple investigations into Russian interference in the 2016 election.

With "Energy Week", Mr Trump is returning to familiar territory – and to the coal, oil, and gas industries on which he's already lavished attention. Mr Trump's first major policy speech on the campaign trail, delivered in the oil drilling hotbed of North Dakota in 2016, focused on his plans for unleashing domestic energy production. The issue has also been a major focus during Mr Trump's first five months in office, as he set in motion the reversal of an array of Obama-era policies that discourage both the production and consumption of fossil fuels.
