"President Trump is heading to Texas tomorrow to sign two executive orders aimed at boosting an oil and gas sector he's long touted as an ally.

Whether that move will pay off for the industry in terms of substantial regulatory relief, or for Trump's 2020 prospects, is unclear.

Following months of buzz and chatter among energy executives and Beltway insiders, Trump is slated to ink the orders in Crosby, Texas, tomorrow, surrounded by union workers and engineers. The move builds on Trump's unveiling last week of a new order to approve the contested Keystone XL oil pipeline with the government conducting an environmental review."
