Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are rattled because of a recent
energy trend: Chinese energy companies snapping up American natural gas
exports, purchasing nearly half the cargoes that U.S. companies agreed
to ship in the last year. And some of those companies are actually
working against U.S. interests. POLITICO’s Gavin Bade breaks down why
lawmakers are growing more concerned, what they are proposing to do, and
how this trend could potentially fuel a new clash between the two global
powers. Plus, the Interior Department is moving to cut Colorado River
deliveries next year.
