The former president cited what he described as America's "energy dominance" under his administration, but claimed that "now the United States is becoming a beggar for energy. We're begging."
Riffing in his familiar freewheeling style, Trump at the outset of the speech hailed the attendees of the conference as "the beating heart of the conservative movement" and the "loyal defenders of our heritage."
