NGI’s Christopher Lenton, managing editor for Mexico speaks to Wood Mackenzie vice chair for the Americas Ed Crooks on the swirl of executive orders signed by President Trump and how they are impacting natural gas fundamentals. Crooks delves into the outlook for the North American natural gas market and the impacts from tariffs, both those deemed certain and levies yet unknown. 

The discussion also covers oncoming LNG supply, and U.S. trade relations with Canada and Mexico, coal-to-gas switching, the recent slowing trend of an energy transition to renewables and how changing rules are being felt in the natural gas market. Crooks explains whether the United States is experiencing an “energy emergency” – or if it is about to be as artificial intelligence comes online.
