Bill prohibits U.S. natural gas exports to Mexico citing corruption and national security concerns.
The bill prohibits exporting natural gas produced or refined in the United States to a foreign country with the intent of further exporting that natural gas through a foreign LNG terminal. Congress finds that exporting natural gas from the U.S. to Mexico is not in the national interest due to Mexico's high levels of corruption and its politicization of the judiciary. The bill cites Mexico's 140th ranking in the 2024 Transparency International Corruption Perceptions Index and rampant fuel theft as evidence of systemic issues.
