The Trump administration extended a permit for a major US liquefied natural gas export project Wednesday as the president seeks to follow through on a pledge to supply Asia and other nations with the fuel.
The Energy Department approved a request from Golden Pass LNG, a Texas project co-owned by QatarEnergy LNG and Exxon Mobil Corp, to extend the deadline to put the terminal in service to November 30, 2029. Previously, Golden Pass was required under its license to start up by November 30, 2026.
