U.S. President Donald Trump will sign executive orders on Tuesday aimed at boosting the nation's coal industry, two sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.



Trump, who campaigned on a promise to increase U.S. energy production and has sought to roll back a range of energy and environmental regulations since taking office January 20, is scheduled to sign energy related orders at the White House at 3 p.m. (1900 GMT), the White House said.



Trump plans to sign several executive orders directing the Interior and Energy Departments to take actions to support the industry, according to a source briefed on the details of the event. Both sources requested anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.
