American Energy Dominance Strengthens Our Allies
The Trump administration just delivered another big win for American energy leadership. This week, over $56 billion in investments were announced at the Indo-Pacific Energy Security Ministerial and Business Forum.
Led by Interior Secretary Doug Burgum and EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin, the summit brought together leaders from 17 countries to announce historic investments in energy infrastructure, critical minerals, and advanced technologies. These investments expand U.S.-aligned energy infrastructure and supply chains across the Indo-Pacific, reducing reliance on adversarial nations and reinforcing America’s role as a global energy leader.
- The Export-Import Bank of the United States has issued a detailed term sheet for the $14 billion Delfin LNG Project, the first offshore LNG export project in the United States—a floating facility off Louisiana with capacity of about 13 million metric tons annually serving markets such as Japan and South Korea—in partnership with companies including Delfin Midstream, Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Samsung Heavy Industries, Hanwha Asset Management, and Korea Overseas Infrastructure & Urban Development Corporation.
- X-Energy and Doosan Enerbility signed a binding agreement to manufacture 16 main power systems for X-energy’s Xe-100 small modular reactor (SMR). As part of the agreement, Doosan also committed to construct the world’s first dedicated SMR fabrication facility, which will support X-energy’s 11 GW commercial pipeline equivalent to 144 advanced reactors.
- Terra Energy Center reached a $1 billion agreement in principle with Hyundai Heavy Industries Power Systems to provide large-scale coal power plant boilers for a 1.25 GW project in Alaska—the first order of utility-scale coal power plant boilers in the United States since approximately 2006.
- Tamboran Resources is executing a $200 million transformational acquisition of Falcon Oil & Gas, becoming the largest operator in the Beetaloo Basin in Northern Australia. The Beetaloo Basin is estimated to have over 500 trillion cubic feet of discovered and potential gas resources. First gas sales are expected in under six months, with production scaling to over 1 Bcf/d by 2029 to address Australia’s energy security and support U.S. military energy needs across the Asia-Pacific region.
American energy dominance isn’t just fueling our economy; it’s strengthening global security. The Trump administration demonstrates that reliable, affordable energy forms the backbone of both economic growth and strategic leadership worldwide.
