Congressman Dan Meuser on Varney & Co.

February 12, 2026
This morning on Varney & Co., I explained why the sale of Venezuelan oil under President Donald J. Trump is good for PA and good for our country. Just weeks ago, Venezuela was isolated under a narco-terrorist regime. Today, with strong U.S. leadership and cooperation, Venezuelan oil production is ramping back up and re-entering global markets.
When America leads in oil, gas, and coal, we produce energy cleaner and more responsibly than anyone else in the world. That leadership also means rolling back unnecessary regulations at home. The Trump Administration is set to reverse the EPA’s endangerment finding, cutting blue tape while preserving certain environmental standards.
With our Marcellus Shale, abundant natural gas, and anthracite coal, PA is central to American energy dominance. This is common-sense energy policy that strengthens national security, protects good-paying jobs, and keeps America energy dominant.
