Rubio, Cassidy, Rounds Call On Congress to Pass Expediting Natural Gas Exports to Allies Act, Supporting American LNG Exports to Europe While Undermining Russian Influence

Feb 28, 2022 | Press Releases

Washington, D.C. — U.S. Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL), Bill Cassidy (R-LA), and Mike Rounds (R-SD) released a joint statement calling on leaders in both the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives to immediately pass their Expediting Natural Gas Exports to Allies Act (S.3661). This bill would help European allies and partners wean off dependence on Russia for natural gas by expediting approval of American natural gas exports to U.S. allies and international partners amid Putin’s war in Ukraine.
 
“Putin’s war in Ukraine is showing us the damning consequences of Europe’s dependence on Russia for natural gas,” the senators said. “American natural gas is cleaner, creates U.S. jobs, and strengthens U.S. and allies’ national security. If we want to hit Putin’s energy profits, our legislation gives the United States that leverage. There is no time to waste, Congress must pass the Expediting Natural Gas Exports to Allies Act.”
