Professor Aseem Prakash and Professor Nives Dolšak work together to write about the pause President Joe Biden put on gas exports in America.
"In 2014, the United States barely exported any liquified natural gas (LNG). By 2022, it had emerged as the world’s top gas exporter. With encouragement from the Biden Administration, it continues to build LNG terminals to double its export capacity by 2027.
