The planned expansion of a massive liquified natural gas facility in southeast Louisiana is a beacon for a U.S. energy policy that doubles down on oil and gas exports under President Donald Trump, two members of his Cabinet told a crowd of cheering workers Thursday.
“The prior administration had a full-on attack against U.S. energy,” Interior Secretary Doug Burgum told workers at petrochemical firm Venture Global’s liquified natural gas facility in Port Sulphur. Venture Global plans an $18 billion expansion in the area for exporting LNG to Europe and Asia. “President Trump is fighting for you every day and he’s fighting because he believes that we have U.S. energy dominance."
