The Trump administration is poised to grant its first approval for a project to export liquefied natural gas as the administration seeks to make good on a pledge to unleash a torrent of fuel shipments,

U.S. President Donald Trump's administration said on Friday it has granted a liquefied natural gas export license to the Commonwealth LNG project in Louisiana, the first approval of LNG exports after former President Joe Biden paused them early last year.

Energy Secretary Chris Wright issued the Trump administration’s first export authorization for a liquefied natural gas (LNG) project Friday, part of a broader push to promote fossil fuel development and reverse the Biden administration’s promotion of renewables.
