Trump Admin Shoots Itself in the Foot by Mandating U.S. LNG Carriers

The Trump administration has been a blizzard of activity since it began in January. We absolutely love it. The Trump team has so overwhelmed the radical left that they run in circles chasing their tails. Yet every now and again, the Trump team makes a misstep (in our estimation). We understand that nobody is going to agree 100% with someone else. Not even spouses! But we strongly object to this misstep. Under new mandates proposed by the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR), beginning in 2028, a total of 1% of America’s LNG exports must be carried via U.S.-flagged vessels. From 2029 onwards, 1% of U.S. LNG exports should be shipped on U.S.-flagged and U.S.-built vessels.
