Trump says preparing new executive actions to save coal mining

President Donald Trump said on Monday he was preparing new executive actions to save coal mining and put miners back to work.

"As we speak we are preparing new executive actions to save our coal industry and to save our wonderful coal miners from continuing to be put out of work. The miners are coming back," Trump told a rally in Louisville, Kentucky, without providing any details.
