Washington, D.C. - Today, U.S. Rep. Randy Weber (TX-14) applauded Secretary of Energy Chris Wright’s announcement granting final authorization for liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports to non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) countries from Port Arthur LNG Phase II in Port Arthur, Texas.

“Our region is once again leading the way in American energy dominance,” said Rep. Weber. “Thanks to President Trump and Secretary Wright, the LNG export project in Port Arthur is finally moving forward, something the previous administration stalled and obstructed at every turn,” said Rep. Weber. “The Gulf of America is the beating heart of America’s LNG industry, and Southeast Texas is proud to fuel freedom around the world. Instead of leaving our allies dependent on hostile foreign regimes, we’re now exporting clean, reliable, American-made LNG. This is a huge win for energy security, American jobs, and our national interest.”
