El director de medios hispanos del Comité Nacional Demócrata, Marco Frieri, emitió la siguiente declaración en respuesta a que Donald Trump sigue recaudando fondos con grandes donantes de las industrias de petróleo y gas en Texas tras pedirles que financiaran su campaña y prometerles que revertiría las regulaciones ambientales:

“Donald Trump le vuelve a pedir dinero a sus patrocinadores de los grupos de interés especiales del petróleo y el gas, prometiendo recortar las protecciones ambientales a cambio de otro cheque. Mientras que el presidente Biden está abordando la crisis climática, creando nuevos puestos de trabajo en la economía de la energía limpia e impulsando un auge de la manufactura en los Estados Unidos, Trump quiere vender nuestro planeta y los puestos de trabajo de los trabajadores estadounidenses al mejor postor. Los votantes ven a través de la politiquería de Trump y es por eso que rechazarán su agenda MAGA, la misma que niega el cambio climático, en las urnas este noviembre”.

HOY: Donald Trump vuelve a recaudar fondos con sus patrocinadores de los grupos de interés especiales de las industrias de petróleo y gas, pidiendo una donación de 1.000 millones de dólares para su campaña mientras promete revertir las regulaciones ambientales.

Ámbito Financiero: “El candidato republicano a la presidencia de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, prometió revertir decenas de normas y políticas medioambientales en una reunión con altos ejecutivos petroleros, en la que también les pidió que recauden 1.000 millones de dólares para su campaña”. 

France 24: “Si Donald Trump es reelegido presidente de Estados Unidos y sigue oponiéndose a las negociaciones sobre el clima, el mundo tendrá un ‘enorme problema’”.

Houston Chronicle: “Former President Donald Trump is scheduled to appear for a luncheon and reception in Houston Wednesday, as part of a fundraising swing through Texas aimed at deep-pocketed oil donors. … The luncheon comes as Trump has ramped up his efforts to woo the oil and gas sector, with the former president reportedly telling executives at a private dinner at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club in Florida they should donate $1 billion to his campaign because he would reduce taxes and regulatory oversight over the oil industry.”

New York Times: “The luncheon [is] organized by three oil executives. … The private luncheon to benefit MAGA Inc., a pro-Trump super PAC, comes about a month after Mr. Trump hosted energy executives over dinner at Mar-a-Lago, his resort in Florida. He asked them to donate $1 billion to his campaign so that he could retake the White House and dismantle Mr. Biden’s climate regulations.”

Washington Post: “What Trump promised oil CEOs as he asked them to steer $1 billion to his campaign”

“You all are wealthy enough, [Trump] said, that you should raise $1 billion to return me to the White House. At the dinner, he vowed to immediately reverse dozens of President Biden’s environmental rules and policies and stop new ones from being enacted, according to people with knowledge of the meeting.”

“Giving $1 billion would be a ‘deal,’ Trump said, because of the taxation and regulation they would avoid thanks to him, according to the people. … Trump’s remarkably blunt and transactional pitch reveals how the former president is targeting the oil industry to finance his reelection bid.”

“The contrast between the two candidates on climate policy could not be more stark. … Trump has called climate change a “hoax,” and his administration weakened or wiped out more than 125 environmental rules and policies over four years.”

“Despite Trump’s huge fundraising ask, oil donors and their allies have yet to donate hundreds of millions to his campaign. They have contributed more than $6.4 million to Trump’s joint fundraising committee in the first three months of this year, according to an analysis by the advocacy group Climate Power.”

The Guardian: “A ‘deal’ allegedly offered by Donald Trump to big-oil executives as he sought $1bn in campaign donations could save the industry $110bn in tax breaks if he returns to the White House, an analysis suggests.”

Trump se está postulando con una agenda extrema que pone a sus donantes millonarios de las empresas de petróleo y gas por encima de los trabajadores estadounidenses.

La República: “El petróleo y el gas son ahora una de las principales industrias que financian la campaña de Trump en 2024”.

País Minero: “La industria del petróleo y el gas de Estados Unidos ha donado 7,36 millones de dólares a la campaña de Donald Trump, favoreciéndolo claramente…”

El Economista: “Trump está decidido a reducirla y “maximizar la producción de combustibles fósiles”, declararon asesores del republicano al Financial Times en noviembre”.

EuroNews: “Durante su mandato, Trump echó atrás 125 normas y políticas medioambientales destinadas a proteger el aire, el agua, la tierra y la fauna del país, argumentando que estas regulaciones perjudican a las empresas.”

Rolling Stone: “Oil Industry Licks Its Chops for Potential Trump Win as Climate Experts Sound Alarm”

Politico: “‘A little bold and gross’: Oil industry writes executive orders for Trump to sign”

Washington Post: “Trump rails against wind energy in fundraising pitch to oil executives”

“‘I hate wind,’ Trump told the executives over a meal of chopped steak at his Mar-a-Lago Club and resort in Florida.”

“Trump’s comments reveal how he is wooing potential donors with his long-standing hostility to wind farms and pledges to halt this form of renewable energy if he returns to office. His stance poses a potential threat to one of the linchpins of America’s clean-energy transition, according to more than a dozen Trump allies, energy experts and offshore wind industry officials.”

Bloomberg: “Donald Trump is the oil and gas industry’s undisputed top pick for the Republican presidential nomination as energy sector donors shower his candidacy with nearly 10 times the amount of money as they gave his challenger Nikki Haley.”

Washington Post: “Trump turns to oil barons to boost his White House bid”

Trump está orgullosamente comprado por las grandes petroleras y empresas de gas, pero su agenda de negacionista ante el cambio climático es increíblemente impopular entre el pueblo estadounidense.

Forbes: “El sector subió enormemente sus contribuciones a la campaña de Trump en 2020 (14,9 millones de dólares), en comparación con lo que dio en 2016 (1 millón de dólares), después de que él promulgara una serie de políticas favorables, incluyendo el nombramiento del entonces CEO de ExxonMobil, Rex Tillerson, como su secretario de Estado”.

The Hill: “Trump pitch to oil companies turns off two-thirds of likely voters, poll finds”

“Broad majorities of voters aren’t happy with Trump’s apparent offer of a quid pro quo to oil companies.” 

“Almost 6 in 10 likely voters surveyed — 58 percent — said they were ‘concerned’ about a second Trump term after hearing about the former president’s reported offer to undo broad swaths of President Biden’s climate policies.”

“Nearly two-thirds — 61 percent — of likely voters told pollsters they ‘reconsider’ their vote for a politician who made such an offer.”
