BATON ROUGE, La. â€" President-elect Donald J. Trump on Friday promised that his administration would strip away “job-killing restrictions†on energy production and begin building refineries in the United States, as he campaigned for Republican candidates in a state heavily dependent on the oil and gas industry.
“We will cancel the job-killing restrictions on the production of American energy,†Mr. Trump said in an airplane hangar in Baton Rouge, the day before Louisiana voters go to the polls to vote for Senate and House candidates. “We haven’t had refineries built in decades, right? We’re going to have refineries built again.â€
His comments came the day after he announced he had chosen Scott Pruitt, Oklahoma’s attorney general and a staunch ally of the energy industry who has teamed with companies to undercut the Obama administration’s climate regulations, to be the Environmental Protection Agency administrator.

He also suggested that he would make broader cultural changes, arguing that desecrating the American flag should be outlawed or bring a penalty.
“I think it’s a disgrace, O.K.?†Mr. Trump said of burning or stamping on the United States flag. “I’m a big believer in free speech, but maybe we’re going to be putting something in†to address the issue, he said. “I think we’re going to have to do something about that.â€
The Supreme Court ruled in 1989 that flag burning was a form of free speech protected under the First Amendment.
Mr. Trump, who has been traveling the country on a thank-you tour reliving his upset victory on election night, took time to gloat over his one-time critics in the Republican Party.
“Remember the ‘Never Trumpers’? They’re on a respirator right now, they’re gasping for air,†Mr. Trump said. “Some of them are saying, ‘I’d only vote for Trump â€" I love this guy.’ â€
