This concurrent resolution condemns the Biden administration's January 2024 decision to indefinitely pause the issuance of new liquefied natural gas export permits. The resolution argues that the pause effectively functions as a ban on LNG exports and contends it will harm American economic interests, undermine relationships with European allies, and weaken U.S. efforts to reduce European dependence on Russian natural gas. The sponsors argue that LNG exports create jobs in the energy industry, support the U.S. economy, and provide lower-emission energy alternatives compared to Russian pipeline gas. The resolution calls on Congress to condemn the administration's action and urges the president to reverse the decision to protect national security and economic prosperity. No funding or specific timeline is mentioned, as concurrent resolutions are symbolic measures expressing Congress's opinion rather than creating law or appropriating funds.
