Republican Scalise called Biden's decision on LNG exports a gift to Putin. Scalise noted that in this way Biden allows the cost of living for ordinary families to rise, and as a result, the candidacy of ex-President Donald Trump is only gaining popularity in the run-up to the elections.
Earlier, Republican Senator from Texas Ted Cruz said that Biden helped Russia with his decision to ban the export of liquefied natural gas abroad. LNG supplies from Russia to France increased by 41% over nine months.
