A group of House Democrats urged President Joe Biden on Friday to “refocus” his policy on U.S. liquefied natural gas exports, deepening a growing party divide that has pitted liberal Democrats against some centrists in the party.

The letter, signed by Rep. Marc Veasey (D-TX) and nine House Democrats representing districts in Texas, Alaska, and California, stopped short of condemning the administration’s decision to pause LNG export terminal approvals temporarily. Instead, they focused on the opportunities for U.S. LNG growth, which they argued would help foster global security and propel the transition to clean energy.
