Donald Trump “shut down” Nord Stream 2 pipeline, Joe Biden approved it, then Biden shut down U.S. liquified natural gas export capacity.With pipeline construction nearly finished, President Biden waved sanctions to repair U.S. relations with Germany.s for their energy needs.in Greensboro, North Carolina . Part of his speech focused on U.S. energy policy. Burgum praised former President Donald Trump’s opposition to Nord Stream 2, a pipeline that carries natural gas from Russia to Germany.
Trump signed a bill in August 2017 that targeted Russia’s energy and defense sectors with sanctions. Then in 2019, he signed another law authorizing new sanctions on Russia related to Nord Stream 2. To Burgum’s suggestion that the move could leave U.S. allies in a lurch, U.S. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said the Department of Energy can allow exceptions for national security needs.
As for liquified natural gas, Biden in January did pause the review of some pending LNG projects — but this did not affect currently operational facilities or five that are closing in on completion. Contrary to what Burgum suggested, Biden’s pause didn’t leave American allies reliant on their political enemies for energy.
