If we wish to have more power and influence in the world in support of our security interest and in support of our values, and if we wish to have an influence, that we pay for with neither blood nor taxes, I do not see a more constructive…

Lifting bilateral restrictions on gas and crude oil to increase security and stability through open markets.

The geopolitical benefits of American energy exports as a diplomatic tool will both make us stronger economically and provide critical support to our partners around the world.

It is long overdue to lift the 40-year-old ban on crude oil exports.

Any attempt to deny the ideological underpinnings of the threat endangers our security.
