Presidential Determination Pursuant to Section 303 of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as Amended, on Natural Gas Transmission, Processing, Storage, and Liquefied Natural Gas Capacity
President Donald Trump issued this determination to treat natural gas and liquefied natural gas infrastructure as essential to national defense under the Defense Production Act. The memo says key facilities — including pipelines, processing plants, storage sites, LNG export terminals, and related distribution systems — are necessary to support U.S. defense operations and allied energy security. It finds that private industry alone cannot build this capacity quickly enough because of financing problems, long equipment timelines, permitting delays, and infrastructure bottlenecks. Based on that finding, Trump authorizes the Energy Department to use federal purchases, commitments, and financial support to help expand domestic natural gas transmission, processing, storage, and LNG capacity, while waiving certain usual legal requirements because of the declared national energy emergency.

It allows for the temporary construction of these vessels in foreign shipyards, with a plan to eventually bring this expertise back to the U.S. The directive is a time-limited measure, set to terminate in four years unless extended, and aims to fill a critical capability gap while maintaining future investment in the U.S. industrial base.
