POTUS speech is live on WH YouTube etc by the way. Worth noting it’s pretty rare for POTUS to speak outdoors since Butler.
Will effort to provide color and and major quotes. Crowd of several hundred, probably half wearing MAGA caps. There are three tanker tractor-trailers lined up along the side of the site, one with a sign saying ‘American Energy Dominance’.
Crowd is applauding and there was laughter when President Trump did a riff on former President Biden. Trump has made several references to the ‘new friend and partner Venezuela’ and ‘80 million barrels of oil’
