The oil industry is telling the Trump administration that oil and fuel stockpiles are running dangerously low and that global energy prices could spike in a matter of weeks. POLITICO’s James Bikales breaks down why the warning is coming now, how the Trump administration is responding, and the impact on consumers and the global economy. Plus, President Donald Trump is expected to invoke the Defense Production Act as part of a plan to provide almost $700 million to refurbish and expand the nation’s coal power fleet.
