WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Senator John Barrasso and Russ Duerstine, Executive Director of Concerned Veterans for America, have voiced their concerns over President Biden's energy policies, particularly in relation to liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports.

Barrasso emphasized the importance of not giving adversaries an advantage in energy markets and criticized Biden's judgment, stating that "Joe Biden’s judgment hasn’t gotten any better since he became president, especially regarding energy security."

The duo highlighted the significance of America's energy revolution over the past two decades, which transformed the country from a net importer to a leader in LNG exports. Barrasso warned that Biden's current approach of limiting domestic energy production could strengthen countries like Russia, Iran, Venezuela, and China in controlling global energy markets.

Pointing out Europe's vulnerability due to its reliance on Russian energy, Barrasso underscored the role of U.S. LNG exports in reducing Europe's dependence on Russia, especially during times of geopolitical tension.

Barrasso and Duerstine stressed that supporting allies requires preventing adversaries from gaining an upper hand in energy markets. They called for Congress to overturn President Biden's executive order on LNG exports and advocated for an all-of-the-above energy strategy to ensure energy abundance and security for the United States and its allies.

In conclusion, the speakers highlighted the importance of maintaining America's energy dominance and not allowing hostile nations to manipulate energy resources to the detriment of the U.S. and its allies.

Senator Barrasso and Russ Duerstine's statements serve as a reminder of the critical role energy policies play in national security and international relations.
