Description
The Export-Import Bank of the United States is considering pouring
billions of dollars into two massive foreign gas projects, which could
put the independent federal agency at odds with the Biden
administration’s climate agenda and pledge to transition off fossil
fuels. POLITICO’s Zack Colman breaks down how Biden officials are
responding and the awkward reality they face with independent federal
agencies. Plus, a second federal judge has ruled that the Transportation
Department overstepped when it issued a rule requiring states to measure
on-road greenhouse gas emissions and set reduction targets.
