He is already pushing to repeal regulations which have greatly reduced our abilities to mine and burn coal for energy in the U.S. He seems to be close to a trade deal with China to increase exports of U.S. coal to them in exchange for cooperation on pressuring the North Korean regime to give up their nuclear aspirations. DPRK's primary export is coal to China. China has already started rejecting their coal shipments.
