It is this American ingenuity that discovered there is enough natural gas to use domestically and to export to our allies around the globe.

Our European allies expressed a strong interest in being able to import LNG from the U.S.

the current process for approved LNG exports is very slow and unpredictable

It is a false dichotomy to say that we must choose between allowing for the sale of natural gas to other nations or keeping it here.
