Arlington, VA – The U.S. Trade and Development Agency will bring a delegation of energy sector decision makers from Egypt, Jordan, and Morocco to the United States to showcase world-class U.S. liquefied natural gas (LNG) technologies that can strengthen their energy security and advance American energy dominance.
While in the United States from April 19-29, the 15-member delegation of government and energy sector representatives will travel to Baton Rouge and New Orleans, LA, and Houston, TX. There, they will meet U.S. gas infrastructure companies and see demonstrations of cutting-edge U.S. technologies across the global gas value chain. Delegates will also tour an LNG export terminal and speak with Louisiana and Texas State government agencies to gain insights on public sector practices that can facilitate LNG infrastructure development and management.
USTDA will host a public business briefing in Houston, TX, on April 23, where U.S. companies can hear directly from the delegation about upcoming natural gas development plans and engage one-on-one with delegates to showcase their LNG and energy solutions.

Through this visit, USTDA is promoting the United States as the partner of first choice for dependable, long-term gas supply in the Middle East and North Africa, which is growing its investment in natural gas infrastructure across the value chain, including expansions to enhance supply, increase LNG imports from countries like the United States, expand pipeline systems, and increase gas utilization. The region offers near-term and ongoing opportunities for U.S. companies to supply LNG and natural gas products, services, and technologies. This directly supports the President’s commitment to American energy dominance, enhancing U.S. economic strength and national security while securing more stable energy supplies for our allies and partners.
