It is important to remember that every shipment of LNG that does not come from the United States has to come from somewhere else. Often that means that gas is being sold by our adversaries, including Russia and Iran. At a time when Iranian-backed terrorists are killing American troops, the Biden administration is voluntarily opening up avenues for the Iranian Government to profit on the sale of liquefied natural gas. Sadly, this is business as usual for an administration that fails time and time again to understand how its decisions can impact our national security. We saw this when President Biden telegraphed his plan to withdraw from Afghanistan ahead of the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, emboldening the Taliban. We saw this last week when the President failed to respond quickly to strikes carried out by Iranian-backed terrorists. We are seeing President Biden's failed foreign policy on display once again with this decision to withhold American liquefied natural gas from our friends and from our allies who need it. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentlewoman from Florida (Mrs. Cammack).
