Johnson Reveals Biden Unaware of January 2024 Executive Order Pausing LNG Exports
Jan 18, 2025, 04:09 PM
In a January 2024 private meeting, House Speaker Mike Johnson revealed that President Joe Biden appeared unaware of an executive order he had signed three weeks earlier, which paused liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports to Europe. Johnson recounted asking Biden about the decision, to which Biden responded that he had not made such an order, insisting he had only authorized a study on LNG's effects. Johnson, concerned about the implications for national security and the economy, particularly in his home state of Louisiana, emphasized that the executive order had indeed paused the exports. This incident led Johnson to question who was truly running the country, expressing fears about the administration's decision-making process.
