  • He denounced climate policy as "the greatest con job," rejecting renewables in favor of fossil fuels and nuclear power.
  • He warned of a "very strong" new round of tariffs on Russia to force peace in Ukraine, conditioning the move on European states halting purchases of Russian energy and faulting China and India for buying Russian oil.
