Abstract
The article is devoted to the analysis of the energy policy of the administration of D. Trump, reveals its novelty and continuity in the realization of the main goal - the reduction of the dependence of the American economy on oil and gas imports.
The aim of the research is to identify the new directions in the Energy Plan “America First”, to reveal the interrelation between its implementation and the US foreign policy. This plan, aimed at turning the USA into an energy superpower, includes the increase in hydrocarbon production and in export volumes, the simplification of the legislative framework that limits coal, oil and gas production. According to the author, the success or the failure of the energy and economic program of D. Trump will depend on the choice of the strategy and the tactics of the USA behavior in the Middle East, Europe and the international arena as a whole.
