Just half a year into President Donald Trump’s second term, the U.S. energy landscape has undergone a seismic shift. With new infrastructure projects moving forward permits and a series of landmark bilateral energy deals signed, policy momentum is translating into tangible energy leadership at home and abroad. With over 9.5 Bcf/d of new LNG export and production capacities approved and regulatory pathways streamlined, U.S. energy policy is reshaping global trade flows. For allies, developers and traders, these changes carry major implications.
To explore these vital topics, join us for the exclusive webinar “American Energy Dominance: The First 6 Months”, a live discussion scheduled ahead of the Americas LNG Summit & Exhibition 2025. Hear from leading experts from Brookings, Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University, French Cole Strategies and LSU Center for Energy Studies as they unpack the forces driving this new LNG megacycle.
