The US is preparing gas expansion. Being today solely importers of "blue fuel", by 2020. The United States plans to become a major supplier of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in the world.

"The gas revolution in the United States will lead to the fact that our country will become a global player in the energy market as an exporter of LNG," - said in a statement published on the website of the White House.

Further the administration of the president of the USA reminds, that Donald Trump managed to make in this field for 5 months at the head of the country. For example, in late April, he abolished the decree of his predecessor, limiting the extraction of minerals on the shelf, and expanded the opportunity for producers to work in the Gulf of Mexico, as well as in the Atlantic, Pacific and Arctic Oceans. In total, it is allowed to conduct oil and gas production by 7 million square meters. Km of territory, the subsoil of which is stored, according to preliminary estimates, up to 90 billion barrels of oil and up to 9 trillion cubic meters of gas. In addition, Trump instructed to review the rule of hydraulic fracturing of soil, established during the presidency of Obama.

American politicians have already picked up a wave.

In particular, the senator from the State Louisiana Cassidy in late June submitted to the US Congress the Law on the licensing of natural gas, which lifts restrictions on the export of this fuel.

Earlier, US lawmakers tried to amend the law on anti-Russian sanctions, which are aimed at countering the implementation of the Nord Stream-2 project, according to which Russian gas on the bottom of the Baltic Sea should be supplied to European suppliers. Germany and Austria reacted to the US intention extremely negatively, accusing Washington of trying to clear the gas market of Europe for its LNG.
