In a Cabinet as volatile as President Trump’s, Rick Perry’s biggest success may come down to one achievement: “He hasn’t been fired yet, has he?”
. So by those standards, Energy Secretary Rick Perry’s tenure as a member of President Donald Trump's Cabinet could count as a relative success.
"I feel like a traveling salesman, which is exactly what I am,” Perry told an American Petroleum Institute event in September. As more U.S. gas plants came on line, the United States became the world's No. 3 exporter of the fuel, and Perry's effort helped drive deals like one in which Poland agreed to buy natural gas from the U.S. — though that campaign also embroiled him in the ongoing impeachment investigation.
And Perry's efforts to draw more interest from Chinese companies to invest in the U.S. industry were undermined by Trump's trade war. The U.S. share of sales to the leading LNG market fell from 7 percent in the first half of 2018 to 1 percent in the first half of this year.Despite Trump's promises to save the coal industry, it has continued itsduring Perry's tenure.
