President Donald Trump is expected to announce what the White House described as “three historic, beautiful, clean coal announcements” focused on preserving existing coal-fired power plants, expanding coal exports and supporting new coal-fired generation projects, according to a White House official.

The measures, set to be unveiled in the Oval Office Thursday afternoon (early morning India time), include federal funding to extend the life of ageing coal plants, support construction of a long-delayed coal export terminal in California and help finance new coal-fired generation projects in the United States.
