Biden's last-minute action last month viciously took out more than 625 million acres offshore that could contribute to the nation's net worth, Trump said. Trump also vowed to revive a cancelled pipeline that would carry natural gas from Pennsylvania to New York, saying it could slash energy prices in the Northeast by as much as 70 per cent.
