The New York Times reported on November 9 that the team taking over power of US President-elect Donald Trump has prepared executive orders and statements on withdrawing from the Paris climate agreement and increasing oil, gas and mining activities.

In addition, Mr. Trump is expected to grant new permits to export natural gas to major markets in Asia and Europe, and to rescind waivers that allow California and other states to have stricter anti-pollution standards.

During his election campaign, Mr. Trump promised to take many of the actions listed in the article, Reuters quoted Ms. Karoline Leavitt, a spokeswoman for Mr. Trump's transition team.

The election results have given Mr Trump “the power to deliver on the promises he made during the campaign and he will deliver,” she said.

President Joe Biden's administration in January suspended new permits for natural gas exports pending a study of the environmental and economic impacts of exports.

A US Department of Energy official said the department will release an updated draft analysis for public comment within 60 days before the end of this year.

The New York Times article, citing sources, also said that some members of the transition team have discussed moving the Environmental Protection Agency headquarters out of Washington DC.

In another development, shares of Trump Media Group soared after Mr. Trump said he had no intention of selling his shares in the group.

In a post on the social media network Truth Social, President-elect Trump dismissed what he described as rumors that he was planning to sell stocks a day after the stock plunged.

“There are false, untrue, and possibly illegal rumors and/or statements made by market manipulators or short sellers that I am interested in selling that stock,” Trump wrote.

The company’s stock rose 15.2% at the close on November 8. Mr. Trump owns 115 million shares, or about 53% of the company. At the November 8 stock price, his stake is worth about $3.7 billion.
