Golden Pass, a US company that operates a liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal in the state of Texas, has been granted a license to export 2.21 billion cubic feet per day, the US Department of Energy announced in a press release quoted by Sputnik.

The deal allows exports to any country that is not subject to US sanctions, including nations that do not have trade agreements with the United States.

“This announcement is another example of President [Donald] Trump’s leadership in making the United States an energy dominant force,” US Energy Secretary Rick Perry stated in the release.

The deal with Golden Pass is the latest in a series of licenses authorizing LNG exports of 18.2 billion cubic feet daily from other terminals now under construction in the states of Texas, Louisiana, Florida, Georgia and Maryland.

When completed, the new terminals will position the United States to be the world’s dominant LNG exporter, the release concluded.
