Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum emphasized the national security risks associated with offshore wind farms, suggesting they could be exploited by adversaries. He criticized the Biden administration's energy policies, arguing that offshore wind energy is unreliable and highly subsidized.

Burgum indicated that the Department of the Interior has paused leases for five offshore wind projects due to security concerns, although courts have allowed construction to resume. He also discussed initiatives to enhance U.S. refining capacity and reduce reliance on foreign minerals.
