Donald Trump reportedly asked some top oil industry executives last month to donate $1 billion to support his election campaign and also promised the executives that he would reverse President Biden's green energy policies and stop new ones from being enacted if he is reelected.
The donation request, first reported by Washington Post, was made when he met the oil giants at his Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Florida, for a dinner last month and one executive complained about not getting enough support from the Biden administration.
When the executive mentioned how they face difficult environmental regulations despite spending $400 million to lobby the administration last year, Trump said they should raise $1 billion to help him return to the White House.
