Biden bans new offshore drilling along most of the U.S. coastline

President Joe Biden is banning new offshore oil and gas drilling in most U.S. Coastal waters, aiming to block potential expansion by the incoming Trump administration.
The ban protects over 625 million acres of federal waters, particularly along the East and West Coasts, and parts of Alaska's Northern Bering Sea.
Environmental advocates praised Biden's decision, stating that new drilling must be limited to reduce greenhouse gas emissions contributing to global warming.
A spokeswoman for Trump criticized Biden's action, claiming it was a disgraceful decision that would lead to high gas prices.
