President Donald Trump has ordered the restart of reviews of applications for approvals of new liquified natural gas export projects, effectively ending a nearly yearlong freeze implemented by his predecessor.

President Donald Trump issued an order on Monday for the U.S. to resume processing export permit applications for new liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects, part of an effort to raise U.S. energy output and dismantle his predecessor's climate policies.

President Donald Trump has lifted a moratorium on new US licenses to export liquefied natural gas, making good on a campaign pledge to rescind the measure enacted by his predecessor.
