Facing Trump tariff threats, governments and companies are proposing major investments in American liquefied natural gas projects.<\/p>\n

President Trump\u2019s cabinet has been busy rolling back regulations<\/a> that will make it far easier to extract and produce fossil fuels. But who will buy them?<\/p>\n

Nearly everyone, it turns out, particularly under the threat of tariffs.<\/p>\n

At an annual energy-industry conference in Houston, executives spoke openly about how companies from around the world are seeking to buy American liquefied natural gas as a way of placating Mr. Trump\u2019s demands to either balance trade or face punitive measures.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019re a nation who has a trade imbalance with the U.S., they\u2019re all asking themselves, \u2018What can we do to try to level the playing field?\u2019\u201d said Meg O\u2019Neill, chief executive of Woodside Energy, Australia\u2019s biggest oil and gas company. <\/p>\n

They are cutting deals now, she said, in large part \u201cso their government can say, \u2018We\u2019re taking action. We hear you, Mr. President.\u2019\u201d Her characterization was echoed by Ryan Lance, chief executive at ConocoPhillips, one of the largest U.S. oil and gas producers, and other speakers at the conference.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Since President Trump took office, oil and gas companies from nearly every continent have dangled the possibility of investing billions of dollars in the United States.<\/p>\n

This month Japanese, Taiwanese and Korean companies revived a $44 billion idea<\/a> \u2014 long considered all but financially impossible \u2014 to build pipelines and a giant terminal in Alaska that would export natural gas to Asia. Ukraine, eager to preserve its weapons supply from Washington, has signaled it will buy more American gas. South Africa, its aid frozen by Mr. Trump, is trying to cut a deal<\/a> to expand U.S. companies\u2019 drilling rights in its waters.<\/p>\n
