Promise: End offshore wind energy development
Record date: April 14, 2026
Donald Trump promised to end offshore wind energy development.
The commitment
End offshore wind energy development.
Published tracker status: In the Works
The commitment remains active, but the measurable result is not complete.
PolitiFact’s update summarized the result this way: “Trump seeks an end to offshore wind energy, but courts have disagreed”
What would satisfy the promise?
The relevant test is the outcome described in the commitment—not merely an announcement, executive order, proposal or attempt. A final assessment should identify the action taken, whether it remained in force, who was affected and whether the promised result was delivered at the scale stated.
Why this belongs in the record
Campaign promises are forward-looking claims. Preserving the original commitment beside the later result makes it possible to distinguish action from completion and partial movement from the outcome voters were offered.
